The art of enamelling upon metal : with a short appendix concerning miniature painting on enamel
Alexander Fisher's 1906 London technical manual, published by The Studio, surveys the art of enamelling on metal with a short appendix on miniature painting on enamel. The pictures are black-and-white photographs of medieval and Gothic enamelled objects: a lidded cup, a chest, a chalice and two small caskets. A designer might take from them the banded enamel panels, trefoil and quatrefoil motifs, and Gothic arcading used on sacred metalwork.
