The translation of remotely sensed images to a nonphotographic medium

Digitized color images of the sun's corona taken by multispectral scanners have been available to the public for at least twelve years (Sci. Amer., 1980). After viewing images of this nature one can draw parallels between images generated by remote sensing devices and Geographic Information Systems and certain surface imaging techniques u..

Painted cloths: History, craftsmen and techniques

The painted cloth is anomalous. We can be certain tat painted cloths were once common, for they are recorded frequently in early documents-wills, inventories and account books-where in the sixteenth century they are valued at sixpence to a shilling a yard. By then they had become widespread all over Europe, in England probably almost univ..
