Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Painters' Encyclop�dia: Containing Definitions of All Important Words in the Art of Plain and Artistic Painting, With Details of Practice in Coach, Carriage, Railway Car, House, Sign and Ornamental Painting, Including Graining, Marbling, Staining, Varnishing, Polishing, Letterin
The general character of this book is indicated by its title. The several topics are treated with a view to technically instruct those who desire to make a study of the art of painting as practised in the paint-shops and studios of the United States.
Every effort has been _made to ensure scientific accuracy in all the statements made. The knowledge acquired during a close connection with the business for thirty-five years is embodied in these pages. The employment of engravings, wherever it was deemed necessary to more fully explain the letter-press, will be found to add greatly to the value of the work as an instructor, while the many extended articles, mostly original, will, it is believed, be interesting even to those who read only for pleasure, or for information on general topics.
