A French-language pattern album of Irish crochet lace (guipure d'Irlande) by Madame G. Hardouin, third edition, issued for the Manufacture Parisienne des Cotons L.V. et M.F.A. After a preface and a page of basic stitch terms (chain, half treble, bride, picot, couronne), it gives written instructions for twenty numbered motifs, each with a photograph: helix, wild rose, poppy, pansy, clover, butterfly, tulip, fan, grapes, thistle and others. It ends with directions for joining the motifs into a ground network on a collar (rabat) and a photograph of a finished panel. Thread numbers are recommended for each motif, and advertisements for the manufacturer's products appear between sections.
