A Victorian handicraft manual published in London by Ward, Lock and Co. in 1880, offering women instructions for charity bazaar goods and fancy work such as embroidery, cane-work, crochet and netting. Its one picture shows an ornamental bathing-clothes basket of woven cane with a bordered panel, tassels and pompoms, which a designer could take as a model for fancy wicker weaving, trimmed surfaces and decorative tasselled edges.
