Book Description
Excerpt from Silverwork and Jewelry: A d104-Book for Students and Workers in Metal "An Art can only be learned in the workshop of those who are winning their bread by it." - Samuel Butler("Erewhon"). "One may do whate'er one likes In Art: the only thing is to make sure That one does like it - which takes pains to know." - Robert Browning("Pippa Passes"). "It is evident that the value of methods and apparatus so simple as these is dependent on the skill and talent of the worker who uses them. The hand of man, more perfect than any mechanism, is everywhere seen in early goldsmiths work. When, however, mechanical methods develop, their exactitude, their even precision, their unintelligence, replace little by little that fascination which belongs to everything shaped by the human hand. One need not, therefore, be surprised that there is so much difficulty in the goldsmiths art, no less than in other branches of industry, in procuring things to-day which have the charm of ancient work. Mechanism has destroyed the habit of intelligent personal effort on the part of the worker, and his energies are now directed to the imitation of the cold and arid regularity of the machine." - "On Medieval Gold and Silver Work"("Viollet le Due, vol. ii., p. 172.
