Modern Design in Jewellery and Fans

ISBN: 9781331908630 出版年：2016 页码：217 Charles Holme Forgotten Books

IT is in the thorough belief of the soundness or these principles that the Editor has selected a number of representative modern examples of design by British and Continental workers， which， from their beauty and freshness of treatment， bear testimony to the great advance that has recently been made in the right understanding and rendering of the jeweller's and fan-maker's arts. If articles of good taste are to be produced， there must be a demand for them. So long as a public is to be found that will purchase trinketry in imitation of wheel barrows， cocks and hens， flower-pots， and moons and stars， so long will the advance in art be retarded. The Editor has pleasure in acknowledging the courtesy of the Owners of copyrights for their kindness in sanctioning the reproduction of important work; and his best thanks are due to all the artist-contributors， and especially to those who have made designs expressly for this publication.
