Some pigments, such as white lead and chrome yel= low, have lead as a base. They are, however, of little service to the painter,= for not only do they easily tarnish themselves, but they adversely affect oth= er pigments with which they come in contact.(1891a1)

The leaf usually emp= loyed to cover the nudity of statues. Where this has to be done it is far better t= hat the sculptor should do it himself with flying draperies or other accessor= ies, if indeed he can do it without making his purpose painfully evident.

ILLUS. leaf6wat(1891a1)

In the Middle Ages a specially prepared leather under= the name of cuir‑bouilly (q.v.) was used in making portions of armour, caskets, &c. T= his was stamped when in a soft state and richly ornamented. In the 16th centu= ry leather was used as hangings for rooms. These hangings were stamped with ornament and their beauty enhanced by gold and silver leaf. Leather cut a= nd twisted into volutes was used from the 16th century onwards as a frame fo= r cartouches, &c. Stamping is not the only process by which leather is ornamented. Figures in relief were sometimes chased upon it, and pieces of leather th= us decorated are often very beautiful and costly. ILLUS. leather(1891a1)
