To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It has already been stated that no glass painting, unless it be of very small dimensions, can be constructed without the aid of metal-work ; and that wherever metal-work is used there will be the appearance of black lines. To this law an Enamel glass painting affords no exception : if of large dimensions it must be composed of many pieces of glass, and these must be secured in their places either simply by means of leads, or in a metal frame-work. The construction of the work does not indeed re...quire that the leads or metal frame-work should follow the course of the outlines of the picture, but this is practically the only dif- ference between an Enamel, and a Mosaic glass painting. The black lines cannot be got rid of. In some Enamel glass paintings an attempt is made to avoid the effect of the metal-work; either by using pieces of glass of the largest possible dimensions, and moulding the lead or other frame-work to a few of the principal outlines of the picture, or else by making it take a course altogether independent of the design, and cut the glass into a nimiber of uniform rectangular panes.
