The delineator, vol. 24
The Delineator, volume 24, published in Toronto in 1873 by the Delineator Publishing Company, is a fashion magazine of dressmaking, needlework and millinery patterns aimed at home sewers. The pictures are black-and-white wood engravings of garments: a draped skirt with bows, a back-view bodice with a bustled skirt, a lace-trimmed shawl, and a boy's suit with ruffled skirt and boots. A designer could take their period silhouettes, bow and ruffle detailing, and dense patterned textile rendering.
