Artistic embroidery; containing practical instructions in the ornamental branches of needlework
An 1888 New York needlework manual by Ella Rodman Church, published by F. M. Lupton, teaching ornamental embroidery to amateur stitchers, most likely women working at home. The single picture is a woven-looking cross-hatched ground with a stepped, zigzag line of small lettered motifs and a tassel-like cord at the right, a design a graphic designer could adapt for textile or pattern grids.
