142 Pgs. A comprehensive guide to Victorian era Ladies' Arts. Included in this book is information and patterns in Berlin Work, Crochet, Knitting, Knotting or Macrame, Lace Making, Netting, Poonah Painting and Tatting. Profusely illustrated with 4 colorized pages. A wonderful Work Table book!

Work table books are great resources. They contain chapters on many different topics and often some very nice patterns from the era. This book was produced in England from the later Victorian era. There are hundreds and hundreds of tin-type illustrations to aid in making these lovely techniques. There is literally something for everyone here, and it's a great way to get a feel for the types of work done in Victorian times. I did quite a bit of reconstruction to the cover of this book, but I left it with an antiqued feel to not take away from it's character.
