A wonderful book, covers all types of needlework.

Thérèse de Dillmont (1846-90), was an Austrian needleworker and writer. This book was written to instruct in many different types of needlework - knitting, lacework, macramé, tapestry...and so many others. Many patterns with very specific instructions.

CONDITION: Very good condition, pages have lightly yellowed, but this is a very tight copy, some color loss to green cloth cover on corners and near top and bottom of spine. A really nice copy, would make a wonderful gift.
