glass mirrors with . sssst Of polished
metal - . re0ectoe.
Early In The sixtesnllp century csr.
tain msnui.cturers applied for what
ws should call . patent -''the sole right
10 make 'crysesiline mirrors by Q ".
oret method. for . term Of twenty-five
years."
These mirrors, which we're in great
demand, were very small, a. the meth
ods Of making large plates Of glass was
not then known. Queens Of that day
we're proud Of Q mirror which the poor
est girl would nov scorn to use. Even
window.glass, which was then rare,
was blown.
The present method Of manuiactur-
ing sheets Of glass of almost any sizs
was devised in France. With the in.
| crease of the size Of the glass, the cost
was also greatly increased. The rich
men Of that time who had neither
crowns nor cor0nets, nor yet precious
stones enough to cover mirror frames,
satisfied themselves with artistic cary
inKs in wood.
Hand mirrors, much like those Of
the Egypt ans, and even smaller ones
four inches long by two wi,le-were in
style in the sixteenth century. Ladies
wore them hanging from their girdies,
as they have lately worn amulets, vim.
aigrettes, and fans.
There Is now ut the Cluny Museum.
in Paris, q mirror given by the Repub
lie of Venice to Henry ILL.,, which
shows the advance made in the manu-.
facture of glass. The frame is Of bev-
elled glass, white and colored, aud deco.
rated with deurs de. lis and palm leaves.
Each flower or leaf il made separately,
and screwed on to the frame. The mir
rOr itself, however, IL full Of Jaws and
bubbles, such as we never now SEQ in
the meanest glass articles.
The fashion for mirrors grew go rap.
idly that the French felt sensibly the
enormous tribute paid tho Venetians,
who we're mOnOp0lizing masters of the
art. Louis XIV. resolved to establish
glass works IN Pari but he had first
to get the secret from Venice. A bish-
op, the. j French Ambassador to Venice,
by some play of cunning, learned this
art, and hired men to carry it into
France. In 1865, eighteen workmen
fed their country and founded works
in France.
But the success of the French glass
manufacture belongs more especially
to several young men who went to Ven
ice--ever jealous Ut her secret-and
from holes in the house.top these men
watched unseen the manner Of working,
which they carried to France.
Their success was wonderful. The
King, Louis XIV, had glass windows
put into his carriage and lis palace,
and also lined the palace hall with mir.
rors-the great "Gallsrie de Glaces,"
which still exists, and bears the name
he gave it in 1879.
