The book also includes a detailed examination of the various styles and designs of maiolica, with examples from different regions of Italy. Fortnum’s expertise in the field of art history is evident throughout the book, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Italian pottery or Renaissance art in general.1876. With numerous woodcuts. From Chapter I: It is right, first, to explain that in this dissertation we shall make constant use of two or three words borrowed from foreign languages; one is botega or bottega, implying something between a workshop and an artist�������s studio, which it would be difficult to express by a single English word: another is fabrique, meaning the private establishment of a master potter of that day, the idea of which cannot be so well conveyed by factory, pottery, or studio (itself an imported word), all of which are therein combined and modified.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
