Leather Work- A Practical Manual For Learners By Charles Leland 1925
Author: Charles Leland
Year: 1925
EATHER Work is one of the most fascinating of the minor or decorative arts; many persons who have practised them all give it the preference; some consider it is easier than metal-embossing and wood-carving, and really more remunerative. A careful perusal of this work cannot fail to convince the reader that any person of ordinary intelligence who can draw a little, or even enlarge or reduce patterns mechanically, can master it sufficiently well to turn the results to profitable account. As regards designs, it has been found after a considerable experience that the simplest, even such as a child can be easily trained to make, are by far the best for most work, and that the worst patterns are the very elaborate and difficult. Tfos will plainly appear from the examples which will be given. Those who wish to learn how to design original patterns in the easiest manner are advised to study the "Manual of Drawing and Design," a cheap little book especially adapted to leather work and similar arts.
