A Victorian pattern book of raised tatting by Mlle. Riego de la Branchardiere, published in London in 1868. It gives written instructions for tatting with two shuttles and pearl loops made over a pin or flat mesh: a shell antimacassar, raised scallop border, etoile insertion, mignardise edging, Maltese square, shell edging, daisy insertion, a child's dress and a sash or lappet. The Pearl Beading instructions on page 28 are the base technique for most patterns. Engraved or photographic plates illustrate each design. The back pages carry advertisements for Walter Evans thread, Rowlands' toilet products and the author's other needlework books.
