Description
Excerpt from The Art of Engraving: A Practical Treatise on the Engraver's Art, With Special Reference to Letter and Monogram Engraving; Specially Compiled as a Text-Book for Students and Reference Book and Guide for Engravers
The great need which existed for a masterful treatise on practical engraving has been conclusively proved by the quick sale of the first edition of this work. Such has been the demand for it that the entire first edition has been sold within one year from the date of publication, an unusual record of sales in the case of a purely technical treatise. The explanation lies in the merit of the book andth the fact that previous to its publication there was no treatise available which could be truthfully described as thoroughly covering this important subject. The want of a standard text-book on the art of engraving was greatly felt by teachers and students alike; and it was to supply this want, as well as to aid in the advancement of the art itself, that this work was undertaken.
