33 Balogh 1883, p. 177. In connection with smith’s work, the guidelines also prescribed the following: With regard to these artefacts, the main emphasis is to be placed primarily on durability and on solid work. In the case of work by artistic smiths, it must be not just on these, but also on correctness of stylistic design and execution, as well as on the refined nature of the work to be laid before the eye.’ See Balogh 1883, p. 177.
