The first edition of this important book was originally published in 1897; but it is still viewed by most traditional plasterers as the plastering bible. Now available in this facsimile edition this impressive volume presents a comprehensive coverage of traditional plasterwork; including everything from plain lime plastering through to hand modelling and cast plasterwork. Written by William Millar; who had practical first hand experience of using these methods; the book provides a fascinating and unique record of a craftsmans intimate knowledge of these traditional materials and techniques. This; the only detailed work currently available on this subject contains: a vital record of craft skills being practised 100 years ago; fully illustrated examples of decorative ceilings and other features; and in depth instructions for making casts and moulds.
