Book excerpt: Excerpt from Italian Drawings for Jewelry, 1700-1875: An Introduction to an Exhibition at the Cooper Union Museum for the Arts of Decoration, September 9 Through October 19, 1940 Drawings prepared for a customer were not always made by the head of a workshop. Copies of existing drawings could easily be executed by another hand. Furthermore, the master often may have prepared a sketch from which another man could execute an elaborate drawing in the manner character istic of the workshop. It should not be forgotten that the head of a workshop regarded all draw ings made by his journeymen as his own. Surely the master grown old but not yet retired made every use he could of his son or some other relative who would follow him in proprietorship, retaining for himself the general direc tion of the business and probably handling the accounting. It is interesting to observe 1n the collection from' 'the Neapolitans shop that another pers supplies the drawings although the price and other comments continue to be written in the same hand. Where this ceases to appear it may be assumed that the workshop acquired a new head. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
