The September 1860 issue of Godey's Lady's Book and Magazine, an American women's periodical, with engraved plates, fashion illustrations, sheet music, fiction, poetry, and household departments. The textile content is in the fashion descriptions and the Work Department: netting instructions for the Resilla head covering, crochet tidy and flowers, embroidery patterns for flannel, pillows, shirt bosoms and handkerchiefs, a braided sachet, a beaded mat and a bead-and-wool reticule. The rest is serialized stories, an autobiography of a Lowell mill operative, a piece on modern coaches, drawing lessons, recipes and health articles, book notices, and a fashion column.
