An 1850 instruction book on tatting by Mlle. Riego de la Branchardiere, in which she substitutes a netting needle for the traditional shuttle. It covers the single, double and pearl (pin) stitches, joining methods and general rules, then gives written patterns with line illustrations. The patterns include edgings, an insertion, Oriel and Maltese pattern collars with cuffs, a fruit d'oyley (doily), a bunch of grapes, an appliqued grape waistcoat worked with gold twist, and a mourning collar.
