Synopsis
David Peace is one of England's foremost glass engravers and here he examines the history of letter forms and techniques of glass engraving. He covers many new aspects of lettering from design principles. Goblets, bowls and decanters are analyzed in detail, together with examples of architectural glass, in situ engraving and sandblasting for large-scale work. Stress is laid on design in relation to its site. Presentation glass, heraldry, trophies and windows are all dealt with and a chapter is devoted to the work of many present-day master craftsmen. The book also throws new light on Eric Gill's lettering and shows his influence on the author's work.

Previous owner's printed address label on front free endpaper; light scattered foxing to endpapers. Pages clean and unmarked.

Now in an archival quality (removable) Brodart cover. The engraver's own account of lettering on glass, from the 722 BC Sargon vessel in the British Museum and the Roman cage-cups through Verzelini, the Dutch calligraphic engravers, and Laurence Whistler, to his own method: paint the glass, set out in pencil, score with a toothpick, cut with a diamond point. Chapters on letter form, the flourish, monograms, in situ engraving of windows and screens, presentation glass and heraldry, engraved church windows (Castle Bromwich, St. Merryn, the Pleiades window), a digression into stone, and the lettering of other engravers. Includes his early debt to Eric Gill and the Golden Cockerel Four Gospels. Peace (1915-2003), a county planning officer by day and MBE for that work, was one of the revivers of diamond-point engraving in Britain in the 1930s, first chairman of the Guild of Glass Engravers in 1975, and later compiler of the descriptive catalogue of Gill's inscriptions; his glass is in the Victoria and Albert Museum, Westminster Abbey, and Kettle's Yard.
