Pay for Leather Work: A Practical Manual for Learners
PDF File

Originally published in the 1890s, this manual of Leather Work gives explicit instructions and a large number of designs, all of which have been drawn expressly for the work. It is a pioneer work on the moulding and decoration of leather, inspired by historic examples.

Book Excerpt:

Leather 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.
