Ladies' manual of embroidery and stamping. Giving full instructions in making the stitches ..
A needlework instruction manual compiled by publisher Ferdinand Trifet in Boston, 1884, teaching embroidery stitches and stamping patterns to American women working at home. The wood-engraved plates show single stitches worked on ruled grounds—leaves, petals, loops, and a threaded needle mid-stitch—giving designers diagrammatic line motifs and dense hatched backgrounds in warm tea-toned ink.
