Explore "Amaryllis at the Fair" by Richard Jefferies on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
There was one peculiarity in all the books on Grandfather Iden's shelves, they were all very finely bound in the best style of hand-art, and they all bore somewhere or other a little design of an ancient Roman lamp.
Hand-art is a term I have invented for the workmanship of good taste -- it is not the sculptor's art, nor the painter's -- not the art of the mind, but the art of the hand. Some furniture and cabinet work, for instance, some pottery, bookbinding like this, are the products of hand-art.
