The American domestic cyclopædia, a volume of universal ready reference for American women in American homes
A household reference compiled by publisher Frank M. Lupton and issued in New York in 1890, gathering recipes, formulas and fancy-work instructions for American housekeepers. The plates reproduce lace, crochet and needlework samples as dense white-on-black or black-on-cream line blocks, usable as borders, corner fills, scalloped edgings and repeating floral motifs.
