Arts & Crafts Silversmiths -- The Society of Arts & Crafts in Boston published a short-lived monthly magazine called Handicraft, from 1901-1904. This small-format periodical contained articles on Arts & Crafts philosophy as well as on the practical side of wood carving, bookbinding, stained glass, textiles, furniture, pottery, and leatherwork. The piece below covers silversmithing. It contains valuable information about the craft of metalwork, but is written in the somewhat florid, overwrought style of the day.
