Synopsis

Excerpt from Practical Church Decoration: A Guide to the Design and Execution of Decoration of Churches, Chapels and Other Ecclesiastical Structures

There are very few books extant which deal with the important subject of the decoration of churches, and this little work, it is hoped, will therefore stand a good chance of receiving a welcome. To treat the subject exhaustively would require a book which would probably cost as many pounds as this does shillings. But unpretentious as the present volume is, it is based upon practical lines, and the designs are correct according to the periods represented. It should, therefore, prove helpful to decorators and others whose experience in beautifying sacred structures is limited. It is probable that a supplementary volume carrying the subject farther may be issued later. The designs with very few exceptions, are the work of the author, and although their beauty when properly executed in colours can hardly be appreciated from the black and white engravings, the explicit instructions which are given as to the colours which may be most appropriately used for them, will enable the reader to use them very effectively.

It will be readily admitted that very many - one might almost say most - of our smaller churches and chapels are very far from presenting that cheerful and inviting appearance which is so desirable. And it is hoped that this little book may assist, at least in some small measure, in bringing about an improvement in this respect.
