- The enameller's workroom. This color-printed image accompanies an article about enamel painting written by Pierre-Henri Taunay, a chemist and enamel painter at the Sèvres ceramic manufacture. The article describes the different colors used on gold grounds, and discusses construction of the furnace that is at the center of the image, but it does not identify the tools that are marked.
