A 1905 Brussels catalogue by Isabelle Errera, published by J.-E. Goossens, describing her private collection of antique embroideries and illustrated with 104 photogravures for collectors and textile scholars. Its plates show medieval-style embroidered panels with saints and figures standing in Gothic niches, arranged in rows and vertical bands, and a designer could take from them the tall arched canopy framing and the dense repeating grid of figures.
