Book with marbled paper covers, containing specimens of embroidery, darning, sewing, and straw plaiting. Each specimen labeled with a pasted in, handwritten caption identifying the associated class. Specimens follow the sixteen-class course laid out in "A concise account of the mode of instructing in needlework, as practised in the Female Model School, Kildare Place, Dublin" (Dublin: Thomas L. White, 1833), but the book itself may have been completed earlier than that date.Category
