Home decoration: art needle-work and embroidery; painting on silk, satin, and velvet; panel-painting; and wood-carving
A household craft manual by Janet E. Ruutz-Rees, published by D. Appleton in New York in 1881, instructing American women in art needlework, embroidery, painting on silk and velvet, panel painting, and wood carving. The line plates give page borders and corner motifs built from ivy, cherry branches, iris and grasses over basketweave and brick grounds, usable as frames, rules, and repeating trim.
