The engraver's own account of lettering on glass, from the 722 BC Sargon vessel in the British Museum and the Roman cage-cups through Verzelini, the Dutch calligraphic engravers, and Laurence Whistler, to his own method: paint the glass, set out in pencil, score with a toothpick, cut with a diamond point. Chapters on letter form, the flourish, monograms, in situ engraving of windows and screens, presentation glass and heraldry, engraved church windows (Castle Bromwich, St. Merryn, the Pleiades window), a digression into stone, and the lettering of other engravers. Includes his early debt to Eric Gill and the Golden Cockerel Four Gospels. Peace (1915-2003), a county planning officer by day and MBE for that work, was one of the revivers of diamond-point engraving in Britain in the 1930s, first chairman of the Guild of Glass Engravers in 1975, and later compiler of the descriptive catalogue of Gill's inscriptions; his glass is in the Victoria and Albert Museum, Westminster Abbey, and Kettle's Yard.
