How to work embroidery stitches; a practical method with 69 illustrations
An embroidery instruction manual issued in 1909 by the French thread house Cartier-Bresson and sold in the United States by Mills and Gibb, aimed at home needleworkers learning stitch technique. Its 69 halftone plates show worked samples in close-up—scalloped cutwork borders, looped picot edgings, eyelets and satin-stitch florals—usable as repeating edge ornament, border rules, and endpaper-style diaper patterns.
