Members Tina Posted November 22, 2010 Members Report Posted November 22, 2010 (edited) I found a whole folder full of leather patterns, all in french (thanks Google for the translations:-) ) Making a few searches it seams to be printed in 1908 and all patterns is in the style of Art Nouveau. A full book would be 48 planches with , photo and drawing patterns, mine is 46. So, I'm looking for someone that has this book/folder and willing to share the last two I'm missing as scannings...The name is "Le Cuir" compositions decoratives by Jehand Raymond Just a small picture from this folder/book for all leather people out there:-) Edited November 22, 2010 by Tina Quote "He who works with his hands is a laborer.

Bard Really Really Cool Find Tina Now, I almost feel guilty for the guy that sold it to me...It was fair and square in an auction but this??? It seams I have an angel in leather heaven and I'm more than greatful for the gift of ownership for now...The one on Ebay seams a bit clearer in colors than mine but otherwise just the same. Great Thanks Dave for the offer, I did found an online translation (my French is more or less - No French) and that helped me with the table of contence so at least I know what it suppose to be, if I come across something inside that I need help with I hope to be able to come back to you for some help:-) Quote "He who works with his hands is a laborer.
