"Handbook on Japanning: 2nd Edition" by William Norman Brown is a specialized technical guide on the art of japanning—an intricate process of decorating and finishing metal, tin, and wood surfaces with a durable varnish. Written in the early 20th century, this handbook provides detailed instructions on various techniques, materials, and stages involved in the Japanning process, including sections on tin-plating and galvanizing. The book is particularly useful for artisans or craftsmen interested in enhancing their skills in surface finishing and production of high-quality ornamental items. The opening of this handbook introduces japanning as an artistic technique that originated in Japan and describes its various applications, particularly focusing on its use on metallic surfaces. Brown emphasizes the differences between British and traditional Japanese japanning methods, detailing the importance of surface preparation and the importance of priming for longevity and durability of the finish. Additionally, the text outlines the initial steps involved in preparing the surfaces to be japanned, stressing the need for smoothness and uniformity to achieve a successful application of the japan ground or colored varnish. Overall, it serves as a foundational resource for learners and practitioners of this craft, providing both historical context and practical guidance. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
