Manuel des demoiselles, ou, Arts et métiers qui leur conviennent, et dont elles peuvent s'occuper avec, agrément ...
Manuel des demoiselles is an 1826 French needlework manual by Elisabeth Celnart, published in Paris by Roret for young women taking up domestic handcrafts. Its plates show embroidery and canvas-work designs, including floral cross-stitch borders, stitch samples, and numbered figures of tools and patterns. A designer could take from them the clear grid-based layouts, small repeating botanical motifs, and the compact plate-sheet arrangement of diagrams.
