Designs for lace making
A plate-based lace pattern book by S. H. Lilla Hailstone, published 1870 at an unidentified place, presenting lace designs for makers. The plates show white-on-black or pale-on-dark reproductions of point coupé, grenoble point and other lace panels, with numbered captions. A designer could take the dense openwork geometry, floral sprays and scalloped edge motifs as ready repeat-pattern and border ideas.
