520 _a"Glass" by Edward Dillon is a scholarly exploration of the history and artistry of glass, written in the early 20th century. The work focuses on the aesthetic aspects of glassmaking rather than its manufacturing processes, delving into various historical periods and regions. Dillon discusses various styles and uses of glass, tracing its development from the primitive glass of ancient Egypt through the innovations of the Roman Empire and the intricate creations of the Venetian glassmakers, among others. The opening of the book sets the stage for a detailed examination of glass, noting its significance in daily life and art. Dillon emphasizes that while he will address some aspects of glass-making methods, his primary concern is the artistic side of the medium. He provides a historical overview, indicating that the book will cover a wide range of glass types, particularly "hollow ware," and will include insights into the colors and decorations used by artisans throughout history. This introduction not only lays a foundation for the subject matter but also highlights the complexity and evolution of glass as an art form across cultures.
