Designs in outline for art-needlework. [1st-4th series]
Designs in Outline for Art-Needlework is an 1879 pattern book by Lucretia P. Hale, published in Boston by Tilton & Co. for embroiderers and needleworkers. The picture here is not a design but the Boston Public Library seal with its laurel wreath, a library stamp added to the scan. A designer could take from it the formal shape of a circular emblem framed by laurel, though the pattern pages themselves are not shown.
