Interesting! The content, illustrations for the pillows and patterns in this version of Therese de Dillmont's DMC Encyclopedia of Needlework are the exact same ones as in Sara Rasmussen, "Kloppelbuch" from 1884. http://www.cs.arizona.edu/patterns/weaving/webdocs/german.html. When was the earliest English version of Therese de Dillmont's DMC Encyclopedia of Needlework published? I can't find it on the Gutenberg site. Mr. Lewis of the Torchon Lace Co. copied much of his material from Sara Rasmussen's book (with some incorrect translations) for his booklets and patterns in 1901-1904, especially "Practical Lace Making Illustrated". -Karen in Washington, DC - To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [email protected].
