Summary

Pathe synopsis: From the comparatively new art of aircraft design to the ancient art of decoration by mosaics, the piecing together of cubes of coloured marble or glass into pictures or intricate patterns. And today mosaics are undergoing a revival of popularity - not only for the works of skilled craftsmen, but among the modern "army" of do-it-yourself enthusiasts.
