About this book
Chats on Old Copper and Brass by Fred. W. Burgess concerns old copper and brass objects. The account of pin making describes the use of brass wire worked by hand, with the head twisted round and round until it appeared to be a solid knob. The discussion of buttons includes decorative and inscribed examples, as well as others ornamented with portraits.
The account of ancient utensils distinguishes the patera, a drinking-bowl, from the patine, a flat dish with a raised rim used for serving meat or fish. The account of Benin describes a series of bronze panels with figures standing out in bold relief.
