As one of the art crafts, leather-work is receiving much attention in our public and private schools. It affords an excellent opportunity for art expression and for the training of the hand and eye.
Originally published in the 1910s, this book is intended to be of practical assistance to teachers and students in acquiring the technique of the various kinds of leather-work, treating of flat modeling, embossing or repousse, carved leather and cut work. It gives detailed descriptions of the different processes of working, and is well illustrated with photographs of finished work and working drawings of twenty useful and beautiful articles suitable for school and home work.
