Fine hand embroidery;
A 1914 trade catalogue of embroidery designs published in New York by the Janon company, offering monograms, alphabets and ornamental motifs for hand embroiderers. The pictures are pen-drawn monogram letters set in Gothic and scrolled frames, with diamond and shield-shaped cartouches, and a designer might borrow their interlaced letterforms, fleur-de-lis terminals and filigree scrollwork for decorative lettering and borders.
