by H. A. Carnell (Author)

The making of leather is almost as old as recorded history. Whilst the manufacturing process used in England today have taken advantage of many scientific, technical, and mechanical discoveries, modern leather manufacture is still partly based on the experience of centuries. This fascinating text details the evolution of leatherwork throughout the ages, comparing the leatherworking of the past to that of today in a fascinating and engaging manner. Leather is a great book sure to appeal to those with an interest in the history of leather, and is well deserving a place in any collection of antiquarian leatherworking literature. Chapters comprising this text include: 'Leather in Ancient Times', 'The Qualities of Leather', 'Sources of Raw Materials', 'Leather in Medieval Times and Later', 'The principles of Tanning - Tanning Materials', 'The Production of Leather in Modern Times', 'Some Special Sorts of Leather and How They are Made', 'Shoemaking', and many more. We are proud to republish this antique book with a new introduction to the topic.
