How to amuse yourself and others. The American girl's handy book
An 1887 activity and handicraft manual by sisters Lina and Adelia Beard, published by Scribner's in New York for American girls making games, decorations, and gifts at home. Line engravings show finished objects in isolation — ribboned work baskets, gloves, sewn trimmings — plus step diagrams and small cherub headpieces usable as spot illustrations, borders, and craft-process sequences.
