An excerpt:
"The purpose of this book is to make the art of shading
lamps and candles a little less of a problem to the amateur craftsman; and it is
hoped, also, that those who have already had some experience as shade makers,
will find some practical hints that will be of value to
them...
...With
patience, careful workmanship and good taste, as fine a lampshade as money can
buy, can be produced at a fraction of the cost of those offered in the stores."
What a historically educational and delightful art
instructional piece this is!
