Book excerpt: The Arts and Crafts of Older Spain in three volumes is a study of ancient and medieval art on the Iberian Peninsula written with a goal to provide a clear and fairly complete account of the decorative arts and techniques from the country of Don Quixote. The work is divided in three parts: The first part deals with gold, silver, and jewel work, iron-work, bronzes and arms; The second part deals with furniture, ivories, pottery, and glass; and the final third part deals with Spanish silk, cloths and woolens, embroidery, tapestry and lace, with few additional accounts concerning different forms of artistic expression.
