Briggs & Co.'s patent transferring papers : patented for the United States of America
A trade catalogue of iron-on embroidery transfer patterns issued by Briggs & Co. in New York in 1880, sold to needleworkers and shops as numbered stock designs. The plates are plain outline drawings—flowering sprays, leafy scrolling borders, sprigs and daisy heads—drawn in even unshaded line on cream stock, ready to lift as repeating border rules, spot motifs, or coloring-in shapes.
