Seven illustrated pages from the May 1858 issue of Peterson's Magazine showing fashion and needlework designs. They include a hand-colored Paris fashion plate, illustrations of head-dresses, a cape and a fichu, and a little boy's sack coat with sleeve patterns. Line-drawn embroidery and braiding patterns cover a collar, cuff, handkerchief corner and border, flannel embroidery to be worked in silk, and part of a baby's French embroidered cap. The pages contain only captions, with no running text.
