Synopsis

This book contains charts for 31 borders, 34 different motifs, 17 complete alphabets and 4 sets of numbers.These beautiful designs with their sinuous flowing lines are typical of the “new” artistic style that became popular in the 1870s– Art Nouveau. Diminutive booklets– in this instance, 3-1/2” by 5-1/4”– contained accordion-pleated pages with patterns and alphabets in a format small enough to tuck into a needleworker’s bag. The patterns in this book are part of a series published by H. K. Berlin SW in Germany between 1870–1890.Designs charted on graph paper are a universal language which can be translated into needlepoint, counted cross stitch and beadwork, with each square on the pattern representing a single stitch.
