How to do beadwork
A 1904 New York instruction manual on beadwork by Mary White, published by Doubleday, Page & company, aimed at home craftspeople learning the technique. The pictures are line-and-solid-fill diagrams of bead patterns: a looped lattice with dark clusters, a diamond trellis, a banded stripe, and a cross-shaped motif in dark dots, showing how beads are arranged row by row for a designer to borrow.
