Leather work

Wilson, Winifred H., 1874-, Willcox, Marshall Bidwell, 1866- · 1908 · New York, M.B. Willcox · 18 pictures

Leather work is a 1908 New York instruction manual by Winifred H. Wilson and Marshall Bidwell Willcox, written for hobbyists and craft students learning to tool and decorate leather. The pictures are monochrome line drawings and tonal plates of stamped and tooled designs: a case with a Celtic knot panel, a lidded pouch with scrolled bands, a rose border, and a foliate fire screen, which a designer could borrow for interlace borders, acanthus scrolls and rose vines.
