Download or read book Illumination written by Sidney Farnsworth and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Illumination: And Its Development in the Present Day Chapters on the further development of illumina tion, the illumination of the printed book, and printed book decoration, are also amongst the additions. The chapters on the application of lettering and decoration from the commercial standpoint have also been developed considerably, and at the end of the book some notes have been added on books for further study. I have tried to write in as simple a manner as possible, so that the youngest student should have no difficulty in understanding the instructions that are given. So many books have been written on the subject of Illumination that it may seem quite superfluous to add yet another to the long list. Still, I think that a work treating the matter from the present-day stand point ought to be of some service to the student who is desirous of practising this art to-day. I have felt for some time past that there was a need for a work that would deal with the various ways in which this art could be applied in a time like the present. I have found that most of the books that have been written on Illumination treat the subject either from the standpoint of the archaeologist or merely from that of the amateur. It is simply the result of a sincere desire to supply what I feel to be a real need that this book has been written, and in the hope that it may serve as a handbook and guide for the serious worker. It has not been written with the idea of introducing a quick and easy method of becoming expert in the art of illumination. Success, in this, as in anything else of importance, can come only through hard work. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Practical Illumination Classic Reprint written by James Raley Cravath and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-23 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Practical Illumination Before going into the details of the various points involved in artificial lighting, a short statement of some of the principal reasons why present attempts at efficient illumination are so often found faulty will aid to an understanding of the subject. One reason why much light is wasted is that frequently too much of the light goes in directions where it is not needed and too little in directions where it is needed. If light coming from a lamp were a tangible thing, as, for example, water coming from a hose, failure to direct it where needed would be more apparent than it is. No one would think of trying to wash windows, flush off pavements or do similar work calling for a concentrated stream of water with a hose fitted with a lawn sprinkler which throws a gentle spray in all directions. Nor would one think of using a nozzle giving a powerful stream on a flower bed or a soft, newly-made lawn. The light thrown in different directions around a lamp can be modified with globes and reflectors just as the direction and character of a stream of water issuing from a hose can be modified bv the nozzle. The important point is to pick the right kind of nozzle and the right kind of reflector or globe for the particular work in hand. Although a certain amount of light on ceilings and walls is a good thing, it is quite likely to be the case that a much larger proportion of the total light goes in those directions than is at all necessary, while a smaller proportion than is necessary is thrown in places where it can be utilized. On the other hand, there are cases where the reverse of this is true. It is of first importance to know what effects various reflectors, shades and globes will produce. Much attention is therefore given to this in following chapters. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
