Excerpt from Architectural Rendering in Wash Opinion has proclaimed that a preface should introduce the author to his audience. I should add - and prepare that audi ence for the work itself. Architectural Rendering in Wash presents its author in the diverse capacities of architect, drafts man, painter, and writer. Incidentally, it suggests other qual ifications of this many-sided personality. It presents its subject from the view-points of architect and draftsman, and harmonizes them. It solves a host of difficult problems and answers many trying questions. It is the architectural draftsman who will be the greatest beneficiary, who will find his wogk has been made easier and his output improved by the acquisition of this new and engaging text book and authority. The architect will bene fit in that his work will be better presented, and possibly he may, himself, be better able to appreciate what architectural pre sentation means. Posterity will come in for a great acquisi tion in that through this work there will be recorded what other wise might one day join the lost arts, for architectural render ing is to-day at its zenith, indisputably an art in itself, and a great one. I foresee for this book a Widespread and lasting in fluence for the betterment of artistic appreciation, architectural draftsmanship, and last, but not least, architecture itself; and I commend it to all whose interests embrace these subjects, and to that great group of discerning men and women, the public ou whom by the very nature of things - the future of all art must.

The careful man will choose the best board he can find. He will test the edges to see if they be true, free from bulges and hollows which would throw the T-square up or down, for accuracy is essential to complete success; friezes, or the narrow whites of cornices or flights of steps must be the same width throughout. He will clean the board carefully, remove old edges of former mounts and old paste. Then he will sandpaper it with fine sandpaper and if there are any humps in the surface, hammer them down carefully. Bad hollows and old thumb-tack holes may be filled up with a mixture of very thin glue (or very thick glue-water) and whiting, sandpapered smooth after drying. Now why on earth these precautions? Because lumps and hummocks under the paper to be mounted on this board cause dirt and graphite to collect on the paper over the lumps, and such collections are very difficult to erase. Also, with a singular perversity, they always come in the worst possible places on the drawing. Also, old paste when dampened again by the wet paper sticks to the underside of it and the only way to part them is to whittle a chip out of the board and pare it off of the paper. Paper. All this labor may be delegated by those maintaining trusty slaves, but the work of the most trustworthy may be inspected and reviewed to advantage. The next step, however, is for the operator himself. It concerns the selection and mounting of the paper. Of all the papers in the world the best for rendering is Whatman's cold-pressed. Hot-pressed Whatman is merely the same paper run through hot rollers which crush down the surface and make it very...
