Owen Jones (15 February 1809 – 19 April 1874) was an English-born Welsh architect. A versatile architect and designer, he was also one of the most influential design theorists of the nineteenth century. He helped pioneer modern color theory, and his theories on flat patterning and ornament still resonate with contemporary designers today.
He rose to prominence with his studies of Islamic decoration at the Alhambra, and the associated publication of his drawings, which pioneered new standards in chromolithography. Jones was a pivotal figure in the formation of the South Kensington Museum (later to become the V&A) through his close association with Henry Cole, the museum's first director, and another key figure in 19th century design reform. Jones was also responsible for the interior decoration and layout of exhibits for the Great Exhibition building of 1851, and for its later incarnation at Sydenham. Jones advised on the foundation collections for the South Kensington museum, and formulated decorative arts principles which became teaching frameworks for the Government School of Design, then at Marlborough House. These design propositions also formed the basis for his seminal publication, The Grammar of Ornament, the global and historical design sourcebook for which Jones is perhaps best known today.
He had from boyhood studied Welsh literature, and later devoted time and money to its collection. Assisted by Edward Williams of Glamorgan (Iolo Morganwg) and Dr. William Owen Pughe, he published, at a cost of more than £1000, the well-known Myvyrian Archaiology of Wales (1801–1807), a collection of pieces dating from the 6th to the 14th century. The manuscripts which he had brought together are deposited in the British Library; the material not utilized in the Myvyrian Archaiology amounts to 100 volumes, containing 16,000 pages of verse and 15,300 pages of prose.
Jones was the principal founder of the Gwyneddigion Society in London in 1770 for the encouragement of Welsh studies and literature; and in 1805 he began a miscellany, the Greal, of which only one volume appeared. An edition of the poems of Dafydd ap Gwilym was also issued at his expense.
John Owen-Jones (born 5 May 1971) is a Welsh musical theatre actor and singer, best known for his portrayals of Jean Valjean in Alain Boublil & Claude-Michel Schönberg's Les Misérables and of The Phantom in Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera. He most recently appeared as Valjean on the 25th Anniversary Tour of Les Misérables, and as The Phantom in The Phantom Of The Opera UK Tour, as part of the 25th anniversary celebrations. He has now recorded three studio albums.
Background/Personal Life
John Owen-Jones was born in 1971 and originates from Burry Port in Carmarthenshire. He was educated at Glan-y-mor Comprehensive School, and went on to train at the Central School of Speech and Drama in London. He graduated in 1994 with a BA (Hons) in Acting.
He has been married since 1999 to Teresa, a primary school teacher and they have a daughter called Nia and a son called Owen. They live in Surrey.
Musical theatre
During 1995 he played the 'liebeslieder' in Stephen Sondheim's A Little Night Music at the National Theatre along with Judi Dench, Patricia Hodge, Joanna Riding and Siân Phillips, and in The Ladies Paradise at the RNT Studio.
John Owen Jones (1 January 1861 – 2 March 1899), commonly known by his bardic name of Ap Ffarmwr ("farmer's son"), was a Welsh campaigning journalist.
Early education
Jones was born at Ty'n y Morfa, Trefdraeth, Anglesey. Following his father's death, his mother remarried and the family moved to Dwyran, where he was educated at the local Board school. On leaving school at fourteen, he was apprenticed to a draper, but his wide reading and further part-time education enabled him to win a place at the University College of Wales, Aberystwyth, and he went on to Owens College in Manchester.
Journalism
Jones began his journalistic career by working as a London correspondent for Welsh newspapers, but soon returned to Wales to set up a school in his home town, continuing to work as a journalist. He campaigned on behalf of agricultural labourers in north Wales, and his articles on the subject of their working conditions led to a conference at Llangefni on Easter Monday 1890, where agreement was reached with employers on a shorter working day. Jones campaigned only on behalf of male employees, and female workers continued to have to work the longer hours.
Jekyll and Hyde is a British fantasy TV drama consisting of 10 episodes. It aired on ITV in the United Kingdom from 25 October to 27 December 2015. On 5 January 2016 the creator Charlie Higson announced via his Twitter feed that ITV had declined a second season.
Based loosely on the Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, it creates the character of Dr. Robert Jekyll, a grandson of the Victorian Dr. Henry Jekyll, who has inherited his grandfather's split personality and violent alter-ego. The series takes place in 1930s London and Ceylon.
Cast
Tom Bateman– Dr. Robert Jekyll/Hyde, grandson of the Victorian Dr. Henry Jekyll/Edward Hyde, son of Louis Jekyll/Hyde and twin brother of Olalla Jekyll/Hyde. As with most 'modern' Jekyll-and-Hydes, in his Hyde state he possesses superhuman strength, speed, and an accelerated ability to heal.
Richard E. Grant– Sir Roger Bulstrode, a British Intelligence officer studying supernatural phenomena
Tom Rhys Harries– Mr Sackler, an Intelligence agent working for Sir Roger Bulstrode

The Grammar of Ornament by Owen Jones
The complete and unabridged full-color edition
First published in 1856, The Grammar of Ornament remains a design classic. Its inspiration came from pioneering British architect and designer Owen Jones (1809–1874), who produced a comprehensive design treatise for the machine age, lavishly illustrated in vivid chromolithographic color. Jones made detailed observations of decorative arts on his travels in Europe, the Middle East, and in his native London, where he studied objects on display at the Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of All Nations in 1851 and at local museums. His aim was to improve the quality of Western design by changing the habits of Victorian designers, who indiscriminately mixed elements from a wide variety of sources.
Jones’s resulting study is a comprehensive ...

The complete and unabridged full-color edition
First published in 1856, The Grammar of Ornament remains a design classic. Its inspiration came from pioneering British architect and designer Owen Jones (1809–1874), who produced a comprehensive design treatise for the machine age, lavishly illustrated in vivid chromolithographic color.

His aim was to improve the quality of Western design by changing the habits of Victorian designers, who indiscriminately mixed elements from a wide variety of sources.
Jones’s resulting study is a comprehensive analysis of styles of ornamental design, presenting key examples ranging from Maori tattoos, Egyptian columns, and Greek borders to Byzantine mosaic, Indian embroidery, and Elizabethan carvings. At once splendidly Victorian and insistently modern, The Grammar of Ornament celebrates objects of beauty from across time periods and continents, and remains an indispensable sourcebook today.
Owen Jones (1809–74) was an English-born Welsh architect and one of the most important design theorists of the nineteenth century. He taught applied arts at the South Kensington School of Design in the 1850s and served as Superintendent of Works at the Great Exhibition of 1851.

John Owen-Jones is one of the most long running, popular, and legendary Jean Valjeans in the show's history, and for good reason. His voice is unmatched in it's strength and power and is likely the best voice to ever sing the part. And his acting and physical performance is unmatched, he puts more effort into showing us all the aspects of Valjean's journey than anyone I've seen.
That's why I'm thrilled to be sharing this recently discovered, and excellent quality, video of his performance in the 2010 25th Anniversary Tour at the Barbican Centre in London. Also features the brilliant Earl Carpenter as Javert. Enjoy!

The complete and unabridged full-color edition
First published in 1856, The Grammar of Ornament remains a design classic. Its inspiration came from pioneering British architect and designer Owen Jones (1809–1874), who produced a comprehensive design treatise for the machine age, lavishly illustrated in vivid chromolithographic color. Jones made detailed observations of decorative arts on his travels in Europe, the Middle East, and in his native London, where he studied objects on display at the Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of All Nations in 1851 and at local museums. His aim was to improve the quality of Western design by changing the habits of Victorian designers, who indiscriminately mixed elements from a wide variety of sources.
Jones’s resulting study is a comprehensive analysis of styles of ornamental design, presenting key examples ranging from Maori tattoos, Egyptian columns, and Greek borders to Byzantine mosaic, Indian embroidery, and Elizabethan carvings. At once splendidly Victorian and insistently modern, The Grammar of Ornament celebrates objects of beauty from across time periods and continents, and remains an indispensable sourcebook today.
Owen Jones (1809–74) was an English-born Welsh architect and one of the most important design theorists of the nineteenth century. He taught applied arts at the South Kensington School of Design in the 1850s and served as Superintendent of Works at the Great Exhibition of 1851. He was a key figure in the founding of the South Kensington Museum, which later became the Victoria and Albert Museum.

Owen Jones 歐文瓊斯 , (born Feb. 15, 1809, London—died April 19, 1874) English designer, architect, and writer, best known for his standard work treating both Eastern and Western design motifs, The Grammar of Ornament (1856), which presented a systematic pictorial collection emphasizing both the use of colour and the application of logical principles to the design of everyday objects.
Educated at the Royal Academy, Jones travelled in the Near East and Spain from 1833 to 1834. He drew attention to Islāmic design in his work Plans, Elevations, Sections and Details of the Alhambra (1842–45), treating the famous palace at Granada, an outstanding example of Moorish architecture.
Jones also worked as an interior decorator and book illustrator and pioneered the use of prefabricated metal buildings for the tropics. He was appointed superintendent of works for England’s Great Exhibition of 1851, which was housed in the newly built Crystal Palace, an influential metal and glass building constructed of prefabricated parts.

This print is a plate that was part of The Grammar of Ornament, conceived by Owen Jones. The Grammar of Ornament was Owen Jones’ design masterpiece, achieving standards of color printing never seen before. First published in 1856, the book highlighted fabulous patterns, motifs, and ornaments in 112 illustrated plates. Each intricate illustration explored design principles behind the architecture, textiles, manuscripts, and decorative arts of 19 diverse cultural periods. This particular plate depicted ornaments in an Egyptian style of colors and patterns.
The purpose of such a work was to gather the 'best' examples of decoration in an attempt to encourage designers to follow his lead in examining the underlying principles contained within the broad history of ornament and colors. Grammar was influential in design schools in the latter half of the nineteenth century and is still in print today.
About the artist:
Trained as an architect, designer, and design theorist, Owen Jones was one of the most influential English tastemakers of the Victorian era. His pioneering studies on color theory, geometry, and form still inspire designers to this day

Owen Jones (15 February 1809 – 19 April 1874) was an English-born Welsh architect. A versatile architect and designer, he was also one of the most influential design theorists of the nineteenth century. He helped pioneer modern color theory, and his theories on flat patterning and ornament still resonate with contemporary designers today.
He rose to prominence with his studies of Islamic decoration at the Alhambra, and the associated publication of his drawings, which pioneered new standards in chromolithography. Jones was a pivotal figure in the formation of the South Kensington Museum (later to become the V&A) through his close association with Henry Cole, the museum's first director, and another key figure in 19th century design reform. Jones was also responsible for the interior decoration and layout of exhibits for the Great Exhibition building of 1851, and for its later incarnation at Sydenham. Jones advised on the foundation collections for the South Kensington museum, and formulated decorative arts principles which became teaching frameworks for the Government School of Design, then at Marlborough House. These design propositions also formed the basis for his seminal publication, The Grammar of Ornament, the global and historical design sourcebook for which Jones is perhaps best known today.

(Words & music by Clevant Derricks) I once was lost in sin, but Jesus took me in And let a little light from heaven fills my soul. He bathed my heart in love, and He wrote my name above And just a little talk with Jesus makes me whole. (Now let us) have a little talk with Jesus (Let us) tell Him all about our troubles (He will) hear our fainted cry (He will) answer by and by (When you) feel a little prayer wheel turning (And you) will know a little fire is burnin' (You will) find a little talk with Jesus makes it right. --- Instrumental --- I may have doubts and fears, my eye be filled with tears But Jesus is a friend who watches day and night I go to him in prayer, He knows my every care And just a little talk with my Jesus make it right. (Now let us) have a little talk with Jesus (Let us) tell Him all about our troubles (He will) hear our fainted cry (He will) answer by and by (When you) feel a little prayer wheel turning (And you) will know a little fire is burnin' (You will) find a little talk with Jesus makes it right. And just a little talk with Jesus makes it right...
