Hello ARLIS folks. This is a reminder about the existence of the Digital Library for the Decorative Arts and Material Culture http://digital.library.wisc.edu/1711.dl/DLDecArts and an announcement of a newly added online facsimile. G. Smith's 1799 edition of "The Laboratory; or, School of arts: containing a large collection of valuable secrets, experiments, and manual operations in arts and manufactures..." is now live at: http://digital.library.wisc.edu/1711.dl/DLDecArts.Laboratory The descriptive note on the book is at: http://digicoll.library.wisc.edu/DLDecArts/TextAbout.html#Smith And, although the how-to-do-it text is the major content of the work, here's a sample image plate (re how shadows work)... http://images.library.wisc.edu/DLDecArts/EFacs/Laboratory2/XL/0488.jpg Hope you find this useful. Best wishes, --Linda Linda Duychak, Kohler Art Library, University of Wisconsin-Madison ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mail submissions to [log in to unmask] For information about joining ARLIS/NA see: http://www.arlisna.org/join.html Send administrative matters (file requests, subscription requests, etc) to [log in to unmask] ARLIS-L Archives and subscription maintenance: http://lsv.arlisna.org Questions may be addressed to list owner (Judy Dyki) at: [log in to unmask] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
