Lieschens Puppenstube : kleines illustriertes Haus- und Wirtschaftsbuch für unsre Lieblinge ; eingekleidet in eine Erzählung als Anleitung zu selbstthätigem Denken und Schaffen in häuslichem Sinne
Lieschens Puppenstube is a German illustrated household handbook for children, written by Elly Gregor and Johanna Sydow and published by Spamer in 1884, framed as a story that teaches needlework and housekeeping. Its wood-engraved plates show crocheted or openwork doilies, a girl in a bonneted dress holding a doll, and a dressed side table and bed with fringed coverlets. A designer might take the dense, lacy textile patterns and the ruffled edging as models for decorative borders, pattern repeats, and vintage craft layouts.
