Also the way to cleanse any old painting, and preserve the colours. Collected from the writings of the ablest masters both ancient and modern, as Albert Durer, P. Lomantius, and divers others. Furnished with divers cuts in copper, being copied from the best masters, and here inserted for examples for the learner to practice by. A work very useful for all gentlemen, and other ingenious spirits, either artificers or others..
