Excerpt from The Art-Journal, 1853, Vol. 5The slow drying of the Vandyck brown is not to be accounted for on the same grounds, since it is not a lake, although, being an earth, it may contain some portion of alumina, together with the vegetable matter. Its slow drying is ascribed by Mr. Field to its bituminous nature. The experiment shows that moisture may be driven off from it by drying.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
