JOURNAL DES OUVRAGES DE DAMES - N. 2/1929 - frammenti
A 1929 Italian periodical of women's needlework patterns, drawn from a collection of fragments and compiled for home embroiderers and lace makers. The four pictures show round and oval lace-edged doilies and plate mats with cut-work openings and leaf or scroll motifs, photographed on dark backgrounds; a designer could take their radial symmetry, scalloped borders, and pierced-panel repeats for table linen or border patterns.
