Description from the seller
Superb illustrated collection of these technical and encyclopedic works that gather the practical and theoretical knowledge of woodworking trades in the mid-19th century.
Volume I outlines the fundamentals of carpentry: selection of species, tools, cutting processes, joinery, and constructions, with particular attention to rules of proportion and architectural applications.
Book II broadens the scope to more specialized woodworking arts: cabinetmaking, marquetry, inlay work, and sculpture, detailing techniques of veneering, inlay, decoration, and finishing, while emphasizing precision and aesthetics.
This manual thus illustrates the 19th century's desire to codify and transmit the arts and trades, combining professional utility with cultural dissemination.
