Sobre este artículo
Wahroonga, NSW: Adele Schaverien. 2006. Hard cover. New in new dust jacket.. 281 p., illustrations, bibliography, index. . This impressive book aims to be a complete history and reference work to the versatile material of horn, 'the natural plastic of the pre-industrial age'. The first section covers the history of the horn trade and its prominence in urban centres as a byproduct of animal slaughter from palaeolithic times, right down to post-industrial survival. The second looks at techniques for horn craft, while the third and most expansive section looks at the various uses to which horn artefacts have put, from the obvious such as drinking horns and powder horns to the more obscure such as in light fittings, spectacles and even translucent window panes. The book is beautifully illustrated throughout.
