Plain needlework, knitting, and mending, for all, at home and in schools...
A practical instruction manual on plain sewing, knitting, and mending written by Lucretia P. Hale and published in Boston by S.W. Tilton in 1879 for home learners and school classes. The plates are close-up wood-engraved diagrams of stitch structures and darned patches, dense allover textures in black line on cream that read as ready-made repeat patterns and grounds.
