From the twelfth to the is fttoonth century small mirrors pried in attached 1s the od jindispanssble juncts to pocket mirror was a circular plague of polled metal fixed 'in a shallow box covered with a lid. Ivory wes usu- ally the material of 'such cases, and, as a rule, they were carved in relief with re- resentations of love, domestic scenes, hunt- paris and the like. Gold, silver, ng and ebony were likewise used. In the middle ages, when steel and: silver mirrors were Slmost exclusively used, » method of backing glass for the Fame pur- poee with thin sheets of metal was known. Small convex mirrors of glass were made in Germaiy before the sixteenth century and were in demand gntil Soipatatively mod- ern times. They were produced by blow- ing small glass globes, into which, while they were hot, was passed through a pipe a mixture of tin, antimony and resin. hen the globe was coated inside it was allowed t) cool and was ufterward cut into convex lenses, which formed small but well-defined images. Early in the sixteenth century as manu- factory of glass mirrors was first established on a commercial soale in Venice and the republic enjoyed a monopoly of this profit- ble business for 160 years. The makers of ey glasses formed sn important cor- poration a themselves and were allow- od unusual privileges. Their process was to bow ow olin ders of glass, which were tensed upon a stone, carefully Soahen, and silvered on the back with an amalgam. In this way quite large ones were produced, somet; measuring as much as four feet in length. The secret was carefully guarded, and the laws were enforced which declared that any workman at the trade who carried his art to a foreign State must return upon requisition on pen- alty of imprisonment for his nearest rela- tives. If, notwithstanding this penalty, he refused to return, emi les were sent to kill him.
