u1sronY OF THE 1ooKrNo-onAss.

Mirrors had boon made from tho earliest
times in polished metal, but wero first mado
of glass ut Venice. In 1907, Andrea and
Dominica, two glass workers at Muruno,
declared before the Council of Ton that they
had found method of making "good and
perfect mirrors of crystal glass" A mo-
nopoly of tho right Of manufacture
was granted to the two inventors for twenty
years. In 1864, the mirror makers became
distinct guild of glass workers, Tie
plates were not large; from four to five feet
are the largest met with till late in tho
eighteenth century. They wero commonly
beveled on tho edges. Tho frames ia soft
wood arc specimens of FREQ carving during
tho sovouteenth century. Both in Yenioo
and in Florence soft woods, such us willow
or limo, woro used. The mirror-plates
were, at first, square or oblong. Toward
tho end of tho century wo fiud them shaped
at tho top. In tho eighteenth century they
wcro generally shaped at tho top aud bot
tom. Figures wero sunk in the style Of
intagio or gcm outing on tho back Of tho
glass and left with dead surface, tho silver
surface Of the mercury showing through as
the mirror is seen from the front.
The lookingrglasscs made in tho scvon.
tconth and eighteenth centuries by colonies

kind in the form Of interrupted curves and

Of the bevel itself is generally too
acute, whereby the prismatio light produced
by this portion of the mirror is in yiolont
