PUBLISHED BY JOHN HOGG 13 Paternoster Row, London, E.C. THE ARTISTIC CRAFTS SERIES OF TECHNICAL HANDBOOKS EDITED BY W. R. LETHABY Extract from Editor’s Preface. “We would have this series put artistic craftsmanship before people as furnishing reasonable occupation for those who would gain a livelihood.... In the blending of handwork and thought in such arts as we propose to deal with, happy careers may be found as far removed from the dreary routine of hack labour as from the terrible uncertainty of academic art. It is desirable in every way that men of good education should be brought back into the productive crafts: there are more than enough of us “in the City,” and it is probable that more consideration will be given in this century than in the last to Design and Workmanship.” BECAUSE Projected as a Standard Series of Handbooks on the Artistic Crafts, suitable for Schools, Workshops, Libraries, and all interested in the Arts. Each Craft will be dealt with by an Expert, qualified to speak with authority on Design as well as on Workmanship. See following pages. PUBLISHED BY JOHN HOGG 13 Paternoster Row, London, E.C.

Price 5s. net PRESS NOTICES “An excellent book opens ‘The Artistic Crafts Series of Technical Handbooks.’”—Times. “It would be hard to find any technical book of this kind which gives more importance to considerations of good taste than this.... It leaves no part of its subject unaccounted for, and is in its own printing, binding, and illustration, a favourable example of good craftsmanship. Valuable in itself, it promises well for the series which it opens.”—Scotsman. “A special word of praise must be bestowed upon the illustrations.”— AthenÆum. “The first of a new series of technical handbooks, and an admirable work it is.”—Pall Mall Gazette. “In a manner lucid and practical the whole process of bookbinding is set forth, the matter being enhanced in usefulness by the drawings for which Mr. Noel Rooke is responsible. Altogether the volume gives the greatest promise for the success of the series.”—Newcastle Daily Journal. “Workers of all degrees will find the book well worth acquisition alike from its valuable material and as inciting to a high standard of workmanship.”—The British Printer. “Bookbinders and librarians will find much to interest them in this lucid, well-illustrated, and valuable little treatise.”—The Studio. “Contains so much information useful to every book-owner that it will be found a very good investment even by the unprofessional.”—The Pilot.

PRESS NOTICES “A lucid text-book for students and workers, well illustrated, being the second volume in the series which made a successful opening with Mr. D. Cockerell’s ‘Bookbinding.’”—The Times. “It teaches not only processes and workshop practice, but also good taste in the making of objects in which in these days vulgarity is none too seldom seen. Admirably illustrated, well written, and practically serviceable, the book should prove welcome alike to craftsmen and to amateurs.”—The Scotsman. “... The book will have a fascination for all craftsmen, and may be read with advantage by every one who wishes to understand the underlying principles of the art crafts.”—The Morning Post. “Not only to apprentices and learners, but also to experienced craftsmen, the book can be most cordially commended. Its value is enhanced by a full glossary and an index.”—Glasgow Herald. “This volume, which belongs to the admirable Artistic Crafts Series of Technical Handbooks, gives practical instruction in one of the most beautiful of man’s handicrafts.”—The Newcastle Chronicle. “We cannot imagine a better aid and supplement to practical experience in the workshop than this handbook. All necessary processes, from the simplest to the most complex, are explained in a methodical and logical order, with the aid of illustrations, in which each touch is eloquent and fresh from the master’s hand.”—The AthenÆum.

With 78 Drawings by the Author, and 16 Pages of Collotype Reproductions. 320 Pages. Price 5s. net PRESS NOTICES “The study of some form of handicraft has become an important matter in the training of an art student, and those who practise wood-carving will find in this admirably written and illustrated book a comprehensive treatise on the subject.”—Morning Post. “In this notable addition to the Handbooks on the Artistic Crafts, Mr. Jack deals thoroughly not only with the craftsmanship of wood-carving, but also with the theory of design, and the subject-matter which the artist should select to carve.”—Newcastle Daily Journal. “The illustrations complete in a very appreciable way the value of one of the soundest text-books within the reach of the student of wood-carving.”—Glasgow Herald. “Quite up to the level of its predecessors.”—Studio. “His illustrations from both ancient examples and from his own work are excellently chosen and reproduced, and show that he has made himself the master and the pupil of the best traditions of his craft.”—Pall Mall Gazette. “Clear instruction, profusely illustrated, and admirably presented by the publisher.”—Sheffield Daily Telegraph. “Mr. Jack’s love of his art is evidenced by every one of his chapters... To read his book is a pleasure, and we can very heartily commend it. It is fully illustrated, and contains a number of fine collotype plates and a good index. It is exceedingly cheap at the published price of 5s.”—Furniture Record. “In its affirmative aspect the book is entirely admirable,... and its value is immensely enhanced by the numerous and excellent illustrations. Its literary quality is greatly superior to that of the average text-book.”—Builder. PUBLISHED BY JOHN HOGG 13 Paternoster Row, London, E.C.

Telephone 8199—“Gerrard.” TRANSCRIBER'S ENDNOTE. Original spelling and grammar has been generally retained, with some exceptions noted below. Illustrations are moved from inside paragraphs to between paragraphs. Original printed page numbers are shown like this: There are a great many cross references to Figures and other pages and footnotes. To aid the user, an Index of Hyperlinks to Specific Pages has been added: see below. The user may find it convenient, before clicking on a link, to make a mental note of his/her current page number location, in order to return there easily. The symbol "N", if it appears in a caption to a Collotype Plate, links back to the Note describing that Plate. The symbol "lg", if it appears in a caption to a figure, links to a larger version of the illustration. The extra-large images are available only in the html version. Most of the images have been refurbished, which means radically brightened, whitened, and sharpened. The Collotype Plates, however, have been subjected to only minor brightening and sharpening in the midrange, since radical changes necessarily destroy detail. Most of the footnotes are renumbered into a single sequence and moved from the ends of pages to the ends of major sections, which are: the Author’s Preface, Part I, Part II, Appendix A, and Appendix B. Footnotes in the section "Notes on the Collotype Plates" are relocated to the end of the relevant Plate description. Ditto marks are generally deleted, and replaced with repeated text if necessary. Large curly brackets, "{" or "}", used to indicate combination or grouping of information on two or more lines, have been eliminated from this ebook. Such information has been recast if necessary, preferring minimal changes, to retain the original meaning. The complex tables on page 72 and pages 162–3 are examples of such recasting. Page viii: "ornamention" was changed to "ornamentation". Page 214: "illluminated borders" changed to "illuminated borders". Page 227: The Figure originally marked "Fig. 134a" on this page was changed to "Fig. 134d." Page 239: The complex table was recast as a nested list. Page 284: "occasionly" changed to "occasionally". Page 430. The section "NOTES ON THE COLLOTYPE PLATES" was broken off in the midst of a paragraph on page 430, and continued on page 481, after the section "THE COLLOTYPE PLATES". Herein, this structure was retained, but the broken paragraph was closed, with all of it on page 430. A new html h2-level heading was inserted at the top of page 481. Index, Entry "Black outlines": "88" changed to "188". Index, Entry "Proportions and Methods": this entry was repeated, once between "Letters in Bands" and "Letters, Brush-made", and once in its proper alphabetical order. The first entry was deleted. INDEX OF HYPERLINKS TO SPECIFIC PAGES The following links are based on the original printed numbers. A left-click on any page number in the text, or on any Figure or Plate Title located in a caption, will bring the user here.
