A complete guide to ornamental leather work
A complete guide to ornamental leather work, published in Boston by James Munroe and Company in 1854, is a practical manual for amateur leatherworkers, drawn from the Getty Research Institute's holdings. Its pictures are simple numbered pattern diagrams of flower shapes, with solid outlines for cutting and dotted lines for folding, plus a trailing morning glory vine, offering designers clear stencil and tooling motifs to adapt.
