[Rarebooks] FS: Picture Framing for Victorians

[Joslin Hall Rare Books]

"Picture Frame Making for Amateurs: being Practical Instructions in the
Making of Various Kinds of Frames for Paintings, Drawings, Photographs,
and Engravings"

By James Lukin. Published in London by Upcott Gill. Undated, but around 1890.

An interesting Victorian guide guide with chapters covering tools and
materials; mitered and veneered frames; round and oval frames; Oxford
frames; bamboo or Japanese-work frames; carved and fretwork frames;
miniature and photograph frames; and leatherwork frames. The chapter on
miniature and photograph frames has illustrations of many examples of
fancy leaf carving which I would think beyond the realm of amateurs, but
the Victorians were a crafty bunch. Uncommon.

Softcover. 5”x8”, (iv) + 84 pages, with 42 text illustrations. Publisher’s
illustrated softcovers, covers with some wear and soil, slight chipping,
etc. (see scan, above); paper spine covering missing for the bottom 1.5"
and the top 1"; contents with a little soil and darkening; fragile but
intact.   $200.00
