Tasseled Purses, Portefeuilles, and border designs

Journal des Demoiselles, 1, Boulevard des Italiens, à Paris.

Single sheet printed with eight cross-stitch patterns. Two (numbered 4 and 5) are clearly for purses with a closure of tasseled cords, 1 might be a portefeuille or a purse, 2 is a portefeuille or very possibly a book cover, 3 might be a sock purse or an etui for glasses or cigars, and 6, 7, and 8 are border designs from narrow to wide.

From the collection of Marleen van Horssen, edited and charted by Sytske Wijnsma.
