The present demand for school instruction in theindustrial arts has made it necessary for the teachersof industries to have that knowledge of materialsand methods which can only result from long and carefulexperience with the materials of industry.
This book is the result of a life of such experienceby a man who is now recognized as a master craftsmanin wrought metal.
The author’s work in wrought iron is comparablein design and finish to the best work that has been producedin that material.
Some pieces of the best German work are beforeme as I make this statement and tho more intricatethey are no better in execution and far less suitable tothe material in design than the pieces illustrated in thisbook which I have seen in process of execution and inthe finished form.
The author has moreover been a teacher of wroughtmetal work for many years.
This experience is reflected in the sequence of difficultypresented by the exercises and the clear, simplestatement of the text.
With such clear and exact statement and with suchprofuse illustration it is evident that the metal workercan gather much of the author’s long experience fromthis book and take many a short cut to success in anaccomplishment to which there can be no royal road.
But the effectiveness of an applied art is measuredbest by its expression of purpose within the limitationsof the material used.
The artistic success of this book lies in the evidentfact that the work represented appears “Hand wroughtand fashioned to beauty and use.”
I predict for it increasing usefulness in settingright the practice of forging in school shops and as aninspiration to teachers, craftsmen and tradesmen.
