First published in Victorian Britain, The Art of Perfumery, and Methods of Obtaining the Odors of Plants is both manual and manifesto. Piesse explains how to capture plant odors by steam distillation, maceration, enfleurage, and alcoholic tinctures, then organizes them into an olfactory taxonomy culminating in his famed scent-music analogy, a compositional scale. In crisp, practical prose he surveys materials from rose and jasmine to benzoin and vetiver, gives working formulae, notes apparatus and yields, and warns against adulteration, situating perfumery between craft practice and the new organic chemistry. G. W. Septimus Piesse, a London perfumer-chemist associated with the fashionable Bond Street trade, wrote from shop-floor experience and close reading of contemporary science. Eager to elevate his craft, he proposed an ordered scale of odors and translated tacit knowledge about solvents, fats, and volatility into teachable rules, reflecting a Victorian passion for classification and for reconciling industry with aesthetics. This classic suits historians of science and scent, students of Victorian material culture, and practicing perfumers alike. Read it for reliable procedures, period formulas, and, above all, a rigorous way to think about accords, fixatives, and longevity.Quickie Classics summarizes timeless works with precision, preserving the authors voice and keeping the prose clear, fast, and readabledistilled, never diluted.

The greatest lie we tell ourselves as adults is "I have no artistic talent." The truth is that the inability to draw is not a failure of the hand, but a dominance of the wrong side of the brain. From childhood, our logical left hemisphere is trained to label the world efficiently, reducing complex objects into simple symbolsa stick figure for a person, a circle for a sun. The Artists Switch is a manual for overriding this efficient but blinding programming, teaching you to access the spatial, intuitive right hemisphere that sees the world as it truly is: a collection of edges, spaces, and relationships.This book is less about technique and more about a fundamental shift in perception. Through a series of counter-intuitive exerciseslike drawing upside down or focusing solely on the negative space between objectsyou will trick your logical brain into giving up control. As the chatter of the inner critic quiets, you will find your hand beginning to record lines and angles with surprising accuracy. Whether you are a complete novice who struggles to draw a straight line or a lapsed creative looking to reconnect with your vision, this narrative guide proves that realistic drawing is not a magical gift reserved for the chosen few, but a learnable skill of seeing that is waiting to be switched on.
