Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Process of Gilding and Bronzing Picture Frames
The art of gilding has been practiced from the earliest dates. Mention of it is made in the Scrip tures, and it was known to the Egyptians, who made an extensive use of it in the ornamentation of their burial cases. It became to be generally used amongst the Romans soon after the downfall of Carthage, and was applied very profusely to the decoration of their dwellings and temples.
