“One sees in the simple forms
used by the natives of Australia the rudiments of the arts
which gave splendor to the palaces of ancient Chaldea. In
the riches and monuments of the luxurious races that dwelt
on the lands watered by the Euphrates and Tigris the same
lines and combinations of lines as those figured here are
used and repeated.”
Brough Smyth
1878
