To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
As a result of their combined efforts the new process of producing gold enamels was perfected. It was pronounced by a committee of the Academy of Fine Arts of Venice to be successful in producing "gold enamels for mosaic work superior to those previously manufactured, even to some of the ancient ones, from the brilliancy and transparency of the vitreous layer (crystalline) over the gold leaf, having a compactness and adhesiveness to the underlying layer, so as to secure the greatest possible du...rability, as well as of the lustre and continuity of the gold leaf and the tablet presenting neither scratches nor swelling. As regards the pieces of colored mosaics, we have found them in THE MOSAICS 29 part even superior, through the delicacy and softness of the tints, to those of ancient mosaics. " Along with this improvement in materials another great obstacle had to be surmounted. The ancient mosaicists prepared a space on the wall, then slowly, piece by piece, placed the mosaic together. This was a very expensive method.
