These instructions are characteristic of the arts and crafts

to beautify one's home, to given as gifts and to sell for an income. See
contents below.

of another wonderful original item revealing our heritage from early America and
European!What a historically educational and delightful art
instructional piece this is!
Three excerpts:
"The making
of bags and purses with leather is one of the oldest
and most universal of its uses. The designs for these are almost
endless and vary, of course, with the material and
use intended."
"The aim of this book is to offer a selection
of simple and practical shapes, giving the fullest value to the
beauty of the material itself rather than emphasising the decoration."
"The leather in each
case has been chosen as being suitable for the particular bag or purse shown,
but alternative leathers of a similar substance and thickness can be used if
desired."
