Page 3, at reduced quality. Open the document to read every page in full.
A 1908 promotional pattern booklet from Bernhard Ulmann & Co. introducing Medici lace, a modern semi-real lace assembled by sewing ready-made buttonhole-stitch braids, medallions and crochet buttons into collars, cuffs, yokes, hats, doilies, door panels and other pieces. It briefly recounts the history of lace and its imitation of Venetian Point, Reticella and Punto Tagliato. Most pages are photographs or line drawings of finished designs, with captions listing the yardage of each braid number and the numbers of medallions and buttons required. The last pages advertise Bear Stamping letters, Bear Lustre, Helios and Orion embroidery cottons, and Battenberg linen thread.
