A 1910 book on tatting by Katharin L. Hoare, with an introduction by Carmen Sylva (H.M. the Queen of Roumania). The text covers the history of tatting, the shuttle, and basic single- and two-shuttle technique, with diagrams of the stitch and hand positions. Most of the book is a series of collotype plates of tatted work, chiefly by the Queen of Roumania, with her own descriptions. Items include altar veils, a coverlet, an iconostasis curtain, dress trimmings, collars, bags, handkerchiefs and church work. A final section shows miscellaneous examples, including historic shuttles in the Wallace Collection.
