A 1929 article from The Handicrafter describing twelve antique New England caps (mostly babies' and night caps) collected by the author, with notes on the fabric, cut, and decoration of each. Materials include cross-barred muslin, cotton mull, lawn, and handkerchief linen, with trims of crochet lace, hand embroidery, seed-stitching, fagoting, and an Ipswich, Massachusetts bobbin lace cap. A page of line drawings illustrates the twelve caps, though the scan of it is badly degraded. The scan also ends with a short excerpt on the history of tapestry (Raphael cartoons and the Gobelins).
