Art in costume design; practical suggestions for those interested in art, sewing, history and literature
A 1920 instructional manual by Edna Mann Shover, published by Milton Bradley in Springfield, Massachusetts, pairing costume history with practical sewing and design exercises for art teachers, students and home dressmakers. The sampled plates are cropped strips of engraved music notation, grand-staff keyboard passages with beamed eighth notes, slurs, clefs and bar lines, useful as line texture, rhythmic pattern or period printing detail.
