A LEFT HANDED ARTIST. ~
i %
Leonardo da Vinci Even Wrote From
Right to Left.
A null! handed tnnu iu making a
drawing puts his shading from right
to left diagonally downward. A left
handed man puts his shading from
left to right This is especially no
ticeable in the drawings of Leonardo
i da Vinci, who was left handed. In
the same way a right handed man,
being asked to draw a spiral, naturally
makes what is called a "left handed"
spiral—thot is. one that curves clock
wise. while tiie left handed wan draws
the "right handed" spiral, or that
which curves counter clock-wise.
Iu liis book. "The Curves of Life,"
Theodore Andrea Cook says that a
Sherlock Ilolmes could tell from the
curves of a carpenter's shavings
whether he was right or left handed,
as a right handed carpenter Invariably
drives his plane a little to the left,"
producing right handed screws, whfle
the left handed carpenter pushes his
plane a little to the right and produces
left handed screws.
Screws and corkscrews are right
band screws unless made for 6ome
special purpose. Left hand screws
can be bought from any large hard
ware dealer. Coffin screws for some
unexplained reasou are always left
hand screws. Man is naturally right
handed, and it has been suggested
that this may be owing to the position
of his heart on the left side. So all
to i ils :• nd weapons have been adapted
to right handed men. This is true of
the adze, plane, scythe, gimlet, auger,
scissors, snuffers, shears, etc.
The strongly left handed man ■will
continue lo use such tools with his
, left hand, even though with Incon
venience, but he in whom the left
handedness is not a strong bias be
come:-! ambidextrous through the use
of the right handed contrivances and
appliances of everyday iife.
Mr. Cook mentions ninny customs
that have arisen through the normal
right handedness of man. Among
these is the rule of driving to the left,
which still obtains in England, Portu
gal. Sweden and parts of Austria, It
aly and Switzerland. This Is a sur
vival of riding days when men held
the reins in (heir left hands in order
to leave their right free to use their
swords.
The most notable example of a left
handed artist is Leonardo da VlncL He
also wrote with his left hand and
wrote from right tq lefL So that any
one who wants to read his manuscripts
or the annotations on his drawings
must use a mirror. This, according to
Mr. Cook, is the natural method of the
left handed man. v
