Description
Handicrafts are just that -- objects made by hand. The degree of craftsmanship is a measure of the skill of the hands, rather than the precision of a machine. This book is a testament to the Victorian craftsman who wasted not and wanted not. The illustrative pictures are both instructive and amusing. As a compilation of hundreds of nineteenth-century craft projects, it is a book that can be used for personal profit and pleasure.
