Title page for the second volume of Plans, Elevations, Sections and Details of The Alhambra. As stated in the title, this volume focuses more in ornamental patterns rather than general plans. For the cover, Jones chose the three primary colours also used extensively at the Alhambra. The Arabic inscriptions in the frame and the font used in the title increase the Moorish resemblance.
