A Victorian pattern book of shuttle tatting by Mlle. Riego de la Branchardiere, published in London in 1866. It gives written instructions with engravings for a lace parasol cover (diamonds, cones, trefoils, beading and border stars), lace and Dresden edgings, ribbon and rosette insertions, a round d'oyley or head-dress, and a two-colour diamond antimacassar. A closing section explains the straight thread and knotted joining and recommends cotton and tatting pin sizes; advertisements for the publisher's other books, Rowlands' toilet preparations and Walter Evans & Co. cotton follow.
