The lacemakers: sketches of Irish character : with some account of the effort to establish lacemaking in Ireland
A nineteenth-century London book of sketches by Mrs Charles Meredith, published in 1865 by Jackson, Walford, and Hodder, about Irish lacemaking and efforts to establish the craft in Ireland. The single picture is a decorative engraved monogram of interlocking letters with curling scrollwork and flourishes, printed in a dark ink on a cream page. A designer might take from it the ornate, interlaced monogram style of Victorian title-page and bookplate lettering.
