Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of sign-writing and glass embossing, two intertwined arts with a rich history. The author traces the evolution of signs from ancient carved symbols and painted images to the emergence of written inscriptions in the late 17th and early 18th centuries. The narrative explores the role of sign-writing in a society where literacy was limited, highlighting the ingenuity employed by tradespeople to identify their establishments. As literacy increased and the printing press gained prominence, the book delves into the transition from pictorial representations to written signs and the subsequent development of distinct lettering styles. Readers are invited to discover the techniques and artistry involved in sign-writing, including the mastery of essential lines, the creation of various alphabets, and the application of color and gold leaf. The book also provides insights into the specialized craft of glass embossing, covering topics such as etching, obscuring, and burnished gilding. By illuminating the historical significance and artistic nuances of sign-writing and glass embossing, this book offers a captivating exploration of how these crafts have shaped our visual landscape and continue to communicate messages in the modern world. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9780282476687_0
