Anthony Horderns' price list of art needlework : and materials for fancy work suited to fair fingers.
This is a 1911 trade catalogue issued by Anthony Hordern & Sons, a Sydney department store, offering embroidery patterns and needlework materials to home sewers in Australia. The pictures are plain line drawings of floral embroidery designs: a scalloped linen centre with wild roses, a grid-ground square with scattered blossoms, and a linen bag with lettering and sprigs. A designer could take simple sprig-and-blossom borders and stylised wild rose motifs from them.
