A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The bound volumes of our Courses in Lettering have been prepared on somewhat different lines from those of our other Courses. Believing that the plates would be of more value to the student if he could handle each one separately than if they were bound together in one large volume, we have printed them in folio form, with a plate on one leaf and the instructions for drawing it on the other. All the plates belonging to each Course have been placed in a handsome and durable portfolio, which is sent to the student instead of a bound volume. The students in those Courses that give instruction in Sign Painting receive, in addition to the plates, two Instruction Papers, with their accompanying Question Papers, entitled Elements of Lettering and Lettering and Sign Painting. The first, Elements of Lettering, contains the instruction necessary to enable the student to properly apply his knowledge of letters and their formation to suit every requirement, both in treatment and modification, and also in their various arrangement in all forms of inscription and combination designs. This Paper gives a complete education in the art of lettering in all its branches wherein a knowledge of colors is not necessary. The second Paper, Lettering and Sign Painting, gives the student a complete knowledge of all tools, appliances, and materials used by the advanced sign painter. It includes also instruction in the use of the brush for all purposes, and the preparation, combination, and practical application of colors to all materials. It contains all the methods, processes, and formulas for producing letters on such surfaces as metal and glass by the use of acids, and also instruction for the preparation of all surfaces on which lettering is to be placed. The present volume contains these Instruction Papers.
