Catalog from the John M. Crapo's Linen Store
A trade catalogue issued by John M. Crapo's Linen Store of New York in 1900, offering household linens to retail customers. Its photographs show fringed and openwork linen towels and runners, with one square cloth edged in lace and set with woven motifs. A designer could draw on the fringe, drawn-thread bands, and lace borders for textile pattern ideas.
