The Priscilla war work book, including directions for knitted garments and comfort kits from the American Red cross, and knitted garments for the boy scout
A wartime knitting manual issued in 1917 by the Priscilla Publishing Company of Boston with patterns from the American Red Cross, aimed at home knitters making socks, garments and comfort kits for soldiers and Boy Scouts. Halftone photographs show hands-free close-ups of needles, heels and ribbed swatches against flat dark grounds, with numbered callouts — useful as instructional diagrams, texture fields and craft-process imagery.
