Synopsis
Excerpt from The Practical Plasterer: A Compendium of Plain and Ornamental Plaster Work, With Useful Recipes and a Glossary of Terms
IT is somewhat remarkable that, although most of the useful arts and crafts are fairly well repre sented in the literature of our own and other languages, the trade of the plasterer - which is one of the most ancient of callings - has no adequate representation in technical literature. Hence the production of this volume, in which the Author has endeavoured to give a concise and practical résumé of the art as now pursued in this country.
