Ornament Drawing was an obligatory training course for all the branches that were taught at the Academy of San Carlos; For this reason, the book presented to us by Dr. Elizabeth Fuentes is an important reflection on the social and artistic significance of her teaching, narrating the development of her teaching, as well as the biography of its
protagonists, a testimony of the type of instruction given to artists and craftsmen. This is the first effort to catalog one of the most numerous and artistically and socially influential collections housed by the Faculty of Arts and Design, made up of 276 pieces, whose recorded dates cover a period of 124 years, from 1780 to 1904.
