By JAMES PETRIE. This important new work is in course of publication in parts, at 3s. 6d. a part. Each part consists of several beautiful lithographed plates, with clear, practical, descriptive text. Each plate measures 17J in. by iij in., and forms an admirable copy for the learner. In most works on Graining and Marbling, a representation of the finished work is given in actual colour ; but the work being thus finished, the learner has no guide to the way in which he should proceed with the different stages of the work. In these plates the different coloured plates represent the different stages of the work, and render it easy for anyone to acquire the art of Graining and Marbling. Part I. consists of four handsome coloured plates of Rouge Grotte Marble with clear practical descriptive text. The first of the four plates shows a portion of the ground colour and a portion of the marble at its first stage. The second and third plates show the additions necessary, and the fourth the finished marble. Thus by copying each plate in turn the learner can without waste of time produce the appearance of this beautiful marble. Parts I to 9 now ready .. .. .. .. per part 3/6 PAINT AND COLOUR MIXING.
