Excerpt from The Art of Enamelling Upon Metal With a Short Appendix Concerning Miniature Painting on Enamel I have written this book with a desire that it shall be of use to those who are studying the Art of Enamelling, and in doing so I wish it to be understood that whatever it contains is the result of my own personal knowledge and experience in daily practice. I have kept the technical descriptions of processes as brief as is compatible with clearness. Other methods I have been compelled to omit, owing to the intricacy and complexity involved in their manufacture. These cannot be explained except and save by the aid of demonstration, and even then can only be really understood and appreciated after some years of study and practice. The illustrations I have chosen chiefly from our museums in order that they might be conveniently referred to, and others are from my own work and that of contemporary artists. I tender my thanks to Professor H. von Herkomer, R.A., and M. Ferdinand Thesmar, for their kindness in lending me photographs of their work for illustration.
