The ladies complete guide to needle-work and embroidery : containing clear and practical instructions whereby any one can learn easily.../
A needlework and embroidery manual compiled by Miss Lambert and issued by T.B. Peterson and Brothers in Philadelphia in 1859 for women learning stitching at home. The four pictures are small woodcut-style diagrams of canvas-like grids, lattice patterns and dotted squares that show stitch layouts and repeat patterns a designer could adapt for textile or surface pattern work.
