An early step in the progress of man's civilization must have been the art of making one material subservient to the adornment of another. Not content with the amount of decoration procurable by carving and sculpture, the more refined families gradually introduced the processes of gilding and embroidery, the use of precious stones, and the application of enamel. It is the application of enamel to metal that the present paper will attempt to investigate; tracing the art through the obscurity of its distant memorials, to its full and perfect development in the ateliers of Limoges, and referring particularly to the great artists from whose joint efforts emanated the superb paintings in the Warwick collection.
