Book excerpt: Excerpt from Illustrations of Useful Arts and Manufactures The Useful Arts originated in the necessities of man's nature which required food, clothing, shelter, warmth, arti ficial light, and thousands of comforts and conveniences, many of which, commencing perhaps with luxuries confined to the few, came in the course of time to. Be necessaries claimed by the many. AS men lived in societies, sub division of labour would naturally arise; one set of men would confine their attention to the production or prepara tion of one article only in course of time they would not only become very skilful in their handicraft, a word which itself implies skill of hand, but they would also, by constant trials and repeated failures, hit upon the best means and materials for bringing about a certain result. Thus would originate an art, or trade, or mystery, terms which imply the first, skill, the second, use, or experience, (le. Trodden, or frequently gone over, ) and the third, secrets, known only to the initiated, and only to be revealed to the apprentice in the course of his seven years' teaching.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cyclopedia of Useful Arts, Vol. 2: Mechanical and Chemical, Manufactures, Mining, and Engineering; Hammer to Zirconium The raising-nammer, fo'r raised works in metal, is rounded at the Edge, and of various forms. The planisfiz'ng-lzammer has a flat smooth face the gold eealer's lnzmmer, a somewhat rounded one; the back bummer, for correcting distortions which so commonly occur in hardening steel goods, terminates at each end in an obtuse chisel edge. The hack-hammer used for hacking grindstones is a small adze of 2 or 3 lbs. Weight, but longer and more curved in the blade, and with a very short handle. Its use is to hack or notch the high places which occur in large grindstones, in regular work, and arise from unequal wear. For this purpose the high places are marked by holding a piece of chalk or charcoal steadily upon the horse, and bringing it gradually near the stone before it comes to rest, the strap having been thrown off. The grinder then cuts shallow oblique furrows, about an inch apart, in the high places denoted hy'the marks, and crosses them with others so as to produce a chequered surface. On again using the stone the greatest wear occurs at these roughened places, and thus the stone is restored to its true form.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from On Copyright Design in Art and Manufactures Property in form, distinct from that of the material substance or article in which it was exhibited, was, till within a few centuries, quite unknown. It has of late years attracted much notice, various arts having facilitated the multiplication of copies, and Government has paid attention not merely to the legal protection of Design, but to its encouragement by schools of art, museums, &c. while it is not only patronized but practised by Royalty itself. Legally the subject has generally been treated of as an appendix to or variation of literary copyright, or of patents. It has, however, an independent character distinct from either of these. 1. In literature ideas are expressed by letters representing vocal sounds; the shape of the black marks, dots or strokes on the paper being immaterial.

This book was released on 2016-09-13 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Arts and the Artistic Manufactures of Denmark Manufactures with objects that claim to be specially distinguished as Works of Art. At the present time, the Galleries contain works that may be classified in the following groups, every work being produced by Danes, and very many also being strictly Danish, as well in design as in execution. I. Pictures - These are original works in both oil and water colours, by the most eminent Artists of Denmark, and they are painted expressly for the Danish Galleries in London. AS will be seen from the following pages, Marine Subjects, which are specially popular in Denmark, and enjoy a cor responding popularity among ourselves, take the lead in the department of Danish paintings in oil. II. Sculpture - The works in this group necessarily consist rather of reproductions of the famous statues and bas-reliefs of Thorvaldsen and one or two other renowned Sculptors of Denmark, than of original productions, whether in marble or in any other material. Original works, however, by Danish Sculptors, may always be seen, in the midst of numerous reproductions in the form of Statuettes, Medallions, Plaques, &c., in these Galleries. III. Terra cotta. - The various productions in this beautiful group are described so fully in my Chapter that it would be super uous to do more here than merely to allude to them as constituting one group or collection second to none in interest and attractiveness. IV. Porcelain and biscuit: and V. Goldsmiths' work - A group composed of objects modelled after ancient Scandinavian examples, discovered as the results of archmological researches and investigations in Denmark. It is by numerous and diversified collections of productions in each of these five groups that the Arts and Artistic Manufactures of Denmark are exemplified, with characteristic significance, in the Royal Danish Galleries in London.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Application of Art to Manufactures: With 150 Illustrations The refining influence of Art is much needed; but to its full development we may not look forward so long as its importance is imperfectly understood. At present it suffers from constant abuse on the one hand, and utter neglect on the other - on the right, gaudiness, incongruity, and an entire want of feeling; on the left, an indifference that is equally culpable. To do away with these extremes, the surest way is to place articles of uncx ceptionable form and finish within the reach of all; so that the eye, daily becoming more and more familiar with that which should be valued as much for its beauty as for its utility, will in time learn not only to appreciate both of these qualities, but will never willingly see them separated, even in the most ordinary articles of daily use.

Download or read book Porcelain Its Nature Art and Manufacture Classic Reprint written by William Burton and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-21 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Porcelain Its Nature Art and Manufacture The question of the marks used on the various porcelains has exercised my mind a good deal, and after much doubt and perplexity, I have come to the conclusion that it would be better to omit them altogether from this book. In the first place, it would need a volume as large as this to discuss the subject of marks alone; but far beyond that, I am convinced that most collectors have paid a great deal more attention to marks than they deserve and that the only safe method of discrimination must be based on the observation of the qualities of body and glaze, or colour and decoration, such as has been followed here. It must never be forgotten (i) that many of the choicest specimens of porcelain are unmarked; (2) that the marks of one period or one factory have been imitated or copied at other times and places; and (3) that the first thing a forger imitates, and generally the easiest thing for him to imitate, is the mark of the much-prized ware. Bearing these facts in mind, as well as the fact that there are many volumes already in existence exclusively devoted to this branch of the subject, I have given no reproductions of marks in this volume, deeming it better to devote the space to more important things. In conclusion, I have to thank Mr. Bernard Rackham, of the Victoria and Albert Museum, for much assistance in the selection of typical specimens for illustration and in the supervision of the photographer when it was impossible for me to be in London.
