“The worst fault, however, from the connoisseur’s point of view, is the absence of a bibliography. Credit must be given him for a real knowledge of materials and processes, and what he has to say on these ... is extremely valuable.”

“We close the volume with the feeling that enthusiasm for the art and knowledge of its character are to be gained by a faithful study of these pages. The not very attractive photographic plates are at least useful. It is altogether a good book for the beginner.”
