"Intarsia and Marquetry" by F. Hamilton Jackson is a handbook on specialized artistic techniques written in the early 20th century. This work delves into the historical aspects, techniques, and materials involved in the crafts of intarsia and marquetry, which involve intricate inlaid wood designs. It appears to cater to artists, designers, and craftsmen interested in the revival and theoretical underpinnings of these art forms. At the start of the handbook, the author provides a detailed introduction to the terminology and origins of the term "intarsia," tracing its roots from Latin and discussing the development of this craft from antiquity. He references historical examples demonstrating the use of inlaid work in ancient civilizations, including the Greeks and Romans, asserting the importance of traditional techniques and materials. The opening portion serves to set the stage for a more in-depth exploration of past craftsmanship, emphasizing the value of historical knowledge in modern design practices.
