Preparation Steps
The firm Fritz Heckert followed color theories developed by Owen Jones in 'Grammar of Ornament' (1856), emphasizing the use of three basic colors: red, blue, and yellow (p. 189). These were enriched with secondary colors like leaf-green used for filling less important motifs. Contour lines were executed in gold paint in accordance with Jones' instruction to differentiate ornaments from colored backgrounds with gold outlines (p. 189).
