Dillmont, Thérèse de, 1846-1890 · 1900 · Dornach (Elsass) Verlag von Th. de Dillmont · 8 pictures

A German needlework alphabet book by Thérèse de Dillmont, published in Dornach, Alsace, in 1900 for embroiderers working counted-thread and white-work stitching. Its pictures show interlaced monogram letterforms in dense ornamental grids, with looping flourishes and scrolled serifs repeated across each plate in a single consistent style. A designer could draw on the closed, interlocking letter structures and the curling tendril terminals for monogram layouts, decorative initials, or vintage embroidery motifs.
