This is an Ebay listing for the sale of digital scans of a rare book on CD ROM
This rare book is the first of it's kind written at the turn of the century by a professional engraver and successful instructor of engraving.
A practical Treatise on engraver’s art, with special reference to letter and monogram engraving
Specially compiled as a text book for students and reference book and guide for engravers.
Over 199 pages and two hundred illustrations
Paragraphs from Chapter I, The Introduction:
“In taking up the study of engraving with a determination to thoroughly master the art it may be interesting to look back over the fading pages of history and learn whence this art came. If we read the traditional story of prehistoric man down to and including the men of the stone age we learn that back in those dark ages when no other implements or tools were know save those made from stone, some of the men of the period were spending their leisure time whittling weapons and engraving on stone the forms of animals with which they were familiar.
This most beautiful art, therefore, being the oldest known to man and one which has come down through the centuries gaining in excellence, popularity and prestige, it behooves the student who decides to study engraving and to follow it as a business or a department connected with his business to realize that he is dealing not with a mere trade, but with an art difficult of mastery and capable of limitless development.”
