Description
Excerpt from The Art of the Plasterer: An Account of the Decorative Development of the Craft, Chiefly in England From the Xvith to the Xviiith Century, With Chapters on the Stucco of the Classic Period and of the Italian Renaissance
During the past century Plaster has been so degraded that it is hardly possible to regard it as a medium of art, and things are now worse than they were before-architecture became a learned profession, before men had accustomed themselves to thinking on paper instead of through the material, knowledge of which is so essential to the proper development of the creative instinct.
