Here is a link to the first page of "Amateur Work Illustrated",
published 1881. I'll permit it to speak for itself if you are interested.

Very interesting book. Gives you a look into the ways they had of doing
things way back then. Makes you wonder how many workers today would put
up with doing things that way. Looking at yesterday's way and today's, it
makes today's way look like they are doing things the lazy way.
