by successive changes.
Evolution of Decorative Art. 55 In the cases which I have given to illustrate ' conscious variation ' the designs have been variously modified, chiefly according to the individual taste or caprice of the artists— though frequently carelessness or lack of skill is an additional important cause ; and, except in the case of the Japanese crests, the principal motive for varying the designs has been the idea of increasing__the^^namental effect, possibly in some instances assoc...iated with the desire to create slight differences to act as marks of ownership. There is no important reason why from the outset one portion of the design should be rendered specially prominent rather than another.
Occasionally there is a definite and valid reason for specially emphasising some particular portion of a design. That portion may have a special significance, which renders it the most important feature. In reproducing such a design again and again, the tendency would always be to preserve and make the most of this important detail, and the rest of the design would tend to sink into insignificance before its encroachments, perhaps to disappear altogether, leaving the principal feature master of the field.
