Abstract
THE book before us contains a minutely detailed account of a number of processes employed for the purpose of producing architectural decorative work in glass. Beginning with an account of the various kinds of glass available for such work, and indulging in a retrospect of glass-working that takes the reader back to ancient Egypt, Mr. Duthie describes the production of leaded lights, the technique of glass painting and staining, and the various processes which depend upon the partial obscuring of the glass by means of fluorides or by the action of the sandblast. Finally gilding, silvering, mosaic, and a number of special processes are described.
Decorative Glass Processes.
