"Brass has been a popular and versatile metal for many centuries. Its manufacture began in Britain in the sixteenth century and subsequently developed into a major industry. The history of the rise of English brassmaking, together with the role of the specialist craftsment - founders and braziers, chiefly - who produced most finished brassware, is traced here, with many illustrations of the extraordinarily wide range of uses appiled to this metal. As well as cavering brassware of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, a well-established field for collectors, this Album emphasises the improtance of brass in the Victorian period, when brass was at the peak of its popularity and could be found in almost every walk of life."--Back cover.
