Practical instructions in enamel painting on glass, china, tiles, etc., : to which is added full instructions for the manufacture of the vitreous pigments required, with twelve pages of instructions
A practical manual by Henry James Snell, published in London in 1874 by the artists' colourmen Brodie & Middleton, teaching amateur and trade painters to work in enamel on glass, china and tiles and to mix their own vitreous pigments. The wood engravings show studio tools in isolation — flat hog brushes, palette boxes with pigment wells, a hand holding a tile palette, kiln and muffle fittings — small, high-contrast shapes useful as spot cuts and tool silhouettes.
