The Modern Priscilla (December, 1910)
The Modern Priscilla was a monthly needlework periodical published by the Modern Priscilla Publishing Company of Boston, Massachusetts, in December 1910, aimed at home sewers and embroiderers. Its pages mix small newspaper-style advertisements for embroidery patterns, dolls, beads and dress waists with line drawings of bag, pincushion and transfer designs, giving a designer compact examples of early twentieth-century mail-order typography and simple linework.
