A Victorian pattern book of shuttle tatting by Mlle. Riego de la Branchardiere, published in London in 1867. It gives written instructions, with materials lists and cotton and pin sizes, for collars, cuffs, a lappet head-dress, antimacassars, insertions, edgings, a handkerchief border and trimmings, built on the pearl beading and Maltese ring techniques. A closing section explains the pearl beading, straight thread and knotted joining, and the back pages carry advertisements for Rowlands' toilet products and Walter Evans & Co. cotton.
