What reading level is The Origin And Antiquity of Engraving With Some Remarks On the Utility And Plea book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In this mode of workmanship, says Vasari, Maso Finiguerra, of Florence, was a most admirable artist.
It was the custom of that goldsmith, whenever he had engraved any work in silver, to take an impression (previous to filling in the Niello) upon dampened paper ; the engraving having first been charged with lamp-black and oil by pres- sing a roller over it ; his work as thus printed assuming the appearance of a pen- drawing.
Of Finiguerra's works in silver, the one made most memorable is a pax o...f the As- sumption of the Virgin, preserved among the records of the church of San Giovanni, ANTIQUITY OF ENGRAVING. 25 at Florence, and executed, as is proved by the records thereof, in the year 1452.
An impression from this work was dis- covered by the Abbe Zani, so late as No- vember, 1797, in the National Cabinet at Paris. The composition is good, although from the number of figures introduced in a space three inches by five, somewhat confused ; the drawing is quite remarkable, and the beauty and expression of the heads show Finiguerra to have been pos- sessed of a high degree of excellence in art, — far in advance of his time.
