Briggs & Co.'s patent transferring papers : protected by Her Most Gracious Majesty's royal letters patent
A trade catalogue of iron-on embroidery transfer patterns issued by Briggs & Co. in New York in 1880, aimed at needleworkers and shops selling transferring papers, with some designs after Kate Greenaway. The plates are numbered outline drawings in even, unshaded line: flower sprays, running borders, leaf and berry trails and single blossoms, ready to be lifted as clean vector-style motifs, repeating strips or spot ornaments.
