The ladies' hand book of fancy and ornamental work ...
A needlework manual by Florence Hartley, published in Philadelphia by G. G. Evans in 1859 for American women working lace, embroidery and other fancy work at home. Illustrations pair outline working patterns of flowers, rosettes and lattice grounds with dense wood-engraved lace panels printed white-on-black, giving designers both clean line borders and heavy textured fills.
