Présentation de l'éditeur
Bronzing some years back, and more particularly about eighteen months ago, by the apparent absence of any reliable information on the subject in this country. It is a subject in which those engaged in metal trades, especially in Birmingham, should be deeply interested, as that city was formerly considered to be one of the chief centres for the production of beautiful colours on metal work. A member of the Birmingham Technical School Committee, Mr. W. J. Davis, suggested to me that we should endeavour to improve the ordinary methods of working by establishing a class for the cultivation of this special branch of industry, and for studying in a systematic manner the principles on which the actions are based, so as to attempt to bring back the almost lost art to its former home, and, if possible, to greatly expand it in beauty and usefulness. The present work is a record of the investigations carried out by means of many hundreds of experiments in every way that seemed likely to yield reliable information.
