Second volume of an album of Irish crochet (guipure d'Irlande) patterns by Madame Hardouin, published for the Manufacture Parisienne des Cotons L.V. and M.F.A. It opens with a preface and an explanation of the basic crochet stitches (chain, single, treble, picot, crown, corded work), then gives numbered motifs 21 to 40 with row-by-row instructions and a photograph of each, including the triangle, fern, chestnut branch, caterpillar, tortoise, peacock wheel and oak leaf. It ends with fine Irish lace edgings and squares (petite dentelle courante, fer à cheval, carré à la rose, carré au trèfle). The text is in French and recommends specific thread and cord numbers for each motif.
