[Embroidery designs
A mid-nineteenth-century album of hand-drawn embroidery patterns, unsigned and unpublished, held by the Clark Art Institute Library and made as working sheets for needleworkers. The 75 pen-and-ink drawings show scrolling vines, grape clusters, carnations and sprigged fillings, with hatched shading marking stitch direction and scalloped border edges ready for tracing, tiling or line-art reuse.
