Hobbies Weekly No. 4 is an 1895 British weekly of instructional articles issued by Hobbies Ltd. for amateur craftsmen and boys taking up fretwork, stamp collecting, magic lanterns, bent-iron work, photography and cycling. The wood-engraved figures mix cuttable fretwork patterns of scrolling foliage and geometric panels with small vignettes of card trays, tools and a trained fruit tree, usable as borders, spot ornaments and silhouette motifs.
