PREFACE

While some new materials are available and techniques are somewhat improved, all the various operations of picture framing are still done in basically the same way. Picture framing is still a hand operation and is likely to remain so.

For this reason, the text itself has not been changed because the basic methods involved remain the same. As is well known, fashions in picture frames may change but genuine style is the ideal to strive for. It is difficult to err on the side of simplicity.

The new material incorporated in this edition has been concentrated in Chapter XVI and it is suggested that reference be made to it before beginning any par­ticular operation.

The "Sources of Supplies" has been revised be­cause some of the firms previously listed no longer exist. However, inquiries at the sources mentioned may result in information on where to buy hard-to-get ma­terials.
