Household elegancies : suggestions in household art and tasteful home decorations
A home-craft manual by Mrs. C. S. Jones and Henry T. Williams, published in New York in 1876 for American women making decorative objects at home. The wood engravings show bracket shelves, rustic twig frames, fringed medallions, fern-filled vases and lace-edged linens, drawn in dense crosshatching against blank grounds — usable as ornamental spot motifs, frame borders and pattern fills.
