Album de tapisserie
Album de tapisserie is a French pattern album of needlepoint tapestry designs published by N. Alexandre & Cie. in Paris around 1870, meant for embroiderers working canvas work. The pictures are colour plates of stitched geometric and wavy bands, plus a title page with a Mignardises heading and a leaf-motif plate, all in dense woven-looking colour that suggests textile repeat patterns a designer could adapt for surface pattern or stitched motifs.
