Livres a dentelles; No. 5
A lace pattern book, number 5 of a series, compiled by Emmanuel Bocher and published in Paris by Amand-Durand in 1887 for lacemakers and embroiderers seeking designs. The pictures are dark brown geometric motifs on a pale grid, like counted-thread lace charts, with repeating squares, crosses, scrolls and arched forms that a designer could adapt for textile or tile patterns.
