Solicitous to preserve the favourable +consideration so flatteringly accorded, every care has been taken to +render the <i>Lady's Album of fancy-Work</i> for 1850 as attractive and +useful as possible; no expense has been spared in its artistic +illustration, letterpress, and embellishment; and it will be found an +elegant ornament in the drawing-room as well as a useful ally at the +work-table. The patterns and designs are of the most useful and varied +character: specimens are given of each style of work recently invented; +and no article either of ornament or use at present in fashion is +omitted.</p> + +<p align="justify">The exercise of the needle has been from time immemorial a favourite +occupation with the females of every country; and the allusions to the +subject from cotemporary historians and poets evince that this feminine +pursuit was regarded with approval and respect. The invention of +embroidery is ascribed to the Phrygians; and we also learn from ancient +authors, that the Sidonians particularly excelled in this beautiful art +of decorative needlework; it must have also made considerable progress +in the country soon after the Norman Conquest, from the accounts that +are recorded of the robes embroidered in gold and silver, generally worn +by persons of rank at that period. The Bayeux Tapestry also remains to +us as a lasting trophy of the skill and industry of Queen Matilda and +the ladies of her court, and is not more interesting as a historical +record than as a specimen of the needlework of the mediæval age. The +introduction of knitting into this country is comparatively of modern +date; so late as the middle of the sixteenth century. The invention of +the art is usually ascribed to the Spaniards; though the Scotch, with +some appearance of justice, assert their claims as its originators. Like +all inventions, knitting has undergone wonderful improvements since it +was first simply used for stocking-making: and the value attached to +stockings so made may be judged from the fact, that a pair were deemed a +fitting present from one sovereign to another. A pair of knitted hose +was amongst the gifts received by that lover of finery, Queen Elizabeth; +but no record remains to shew if these were preserved with the three +thousand robes which were found after her death in the wardrobe of +England's Maiden Queen.</p> + +<p align="justify">The love for domestic occupations, which is so admirable a trait in the +character of our countrywomen, has often been a subject of gratulation; +and that female ingenuity and skill may continue to be employed in +embellishing the drawing-room, rather than in directing the political +intrigues of the <i>salon</i>, must be desired by all interested in the +preservation of those domestic attributes which give so pleasing a charm +to home, and secure the comfort of all around.</p> + +<p align="justify">The taste which her Majesty Queen Victoria evinces for feminine pursuits +and occupations has naturally exercised considerable influence in +preserving habits of industry amongst her female subjects; and to her +Majesty's example, and that of the amiable Queen Dowager, may be +ascribed that the labours of the English embroideress are now justly +appreciated, and her work esteemed as in no respects inferior to the +produce of foreign ingenuity.</p> + +<p align="justify">In expressing their thanks for the patronage extended to the <i>Lady's +Album of Fancy-Work</i> for 1849, the Publishers take leave to state that +the present Volume contains designs and patterns for various articles in +Embroidery, Braid-Work, Crochet, Knitting, Netting, Ribbon-Work, +Scagliola, and Indian Ornamental Work; all of which are executed and +engraved in a style of unusual superiority. Each pattern is accompanied +with plain and explicit directions; and it is hoped that their execution +will afford many hours of pleasurable employment to the fair and +industrious votaress of the needle.</p> +<br /><br /><br /> + + + + +<h5><i>CONTENTS</i>.</h5><br /><br /> + <a href="#EXPLANATION_OF_THE_VARIOUS_TERMS_USED_IN_CROCHET"><b><i>EXPLANATION OF THE VARIOUS TERMS USED IN CROCHET</i>.</b></a><br /><br /> + <a href="#GENERAL_INSTRUCTIONS_FOR_EMBROIDERY"><b><i>GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR EMBROIDERY</i>.</b></a><br /><br /> + <a href="#1_FRONT_FOR_LADYS_CABINET_EMBROIDERY"><b>1.

SCREEN. (<i>INDIAN ORNAMENTAL WORK</i>.)</h2> +</center> +<p align="justify">Beautiful cabinets, work-boxes, work-tables, fire-screens, &c., may be +painted in imitation of ebony inlaid with ivory by the following +means:—Let your screen be made of an elegant form, but merely of common +white wood or deal, prepared as below.</p> +<br /> + +<p align="justify"><i>Composition for the Surface of Wood</i>.—Steep one ounce of glue in a +pint of cold water all night; throw off the water in the morning. Take +six ounces of finest white lead in powder, mix it by degrees in a +mortar, with about half a pint of cold water, till it is perfectly +smooth, then place it, along with the glue, in a clean pan. Add half a +pint more water; set it on the fire, stirring constantly till it boils. +Let it boil three minutes; take it off, and pour it into a stone jar, +and continue to stir it occasionally till cold. When cold, but before it +congeals, take a clean paint-brush, and paint your screen with the +composition. When it is quite dry, rub it over with sand-paper, to make +it quite smooth; then give it another coat of the white composition, +repeating the rubbing with sand-paper as before. Repeat this same +process five or six times, until you obtain a smooth, equal, white +surface. When that is accomplished, dissolve the fourth of an ounce of +isinglass in a quarter of a pint of water; when cold, but liquid, give +the screen a coat of it with a clean brush, and do not use the +sand-paper after it.</p> + +<p align="justify"><i>To Ornament the Screen</i>.—Lay a sheet of black tracing-paper on the +screen, with the black side downwards; then place a pattern above it, +with the right side uppermost; place a weight here and there, to prevent +it slipping; then trace over the outline with a rather blunt stiletto. +On removing the paper, you will find the outline of the pattern +transferred to the surface of the screen. Trace over the outline, +and shade, in lines, with a fine camel's-hair pencil dipped in Newman's +lamp-black; fill in with the same.</p> + +<p align="justify"><i>Varnish</i>.—Place four ounces of rectified spirit of wine in a +wide-mouthed bottle; add one ounce of gum sandarac, a quarter of an +ounce of gum mastic, and a drachm of camphor, all in powder. Put a +stopper in the bottle, set it near a fire, and shake it occasionally. +When all the gums are quite dissolved, add one ounce of oil of +turpentine; then strain through muslin into another clean, dry +wide-mouthed bottle. Let it stand a day or two before using.</p> + +<p align="justify"><i>Mode of Varnishing</i>.—Take a large clean new varnish-brush, dip it into +the bottle, and then cover over all your screen with it. When perfectly +dry, give it another coat, and so on till it has had six coats; let it +remain untouched for two days; rub it smooth with sand-paper; then give +it two more coats of varnish, and repeat the rubbing, being careful to +wait between each coat till the last is dry, and not to rub with +sand-paper sooner than two days after varnishing, and never give more +than two coats of varnish in a day—one in the morning, another at +night. When you think it looks clear and sufficiently thick, give it +another coat without using the sand-paper after it; let it stand four +days; then rub it all over with pounded rottenstone, and wipe it off +with a wet cloth; after which take a little Florence oil and +hair-powder, and polish with your hand.</p> + + +<br> +<hr style="width: 45%;" /> +<br> +<center><img src="images/33.jpg" alt="No. 67.

Leave a margin 18 +threads from this, and with black work 6 stitches over the 7th and 8th +cords opposite each other; with blue work 6 stitches on the same cords +on the right side, and with green 6 on the left; with peach work 6 +stitches on the 9th and 10th cords, above the stitches of black; and +with scarlet 6 stitches on the 6th and 7th cords, underneath the black. +There will now be 60 stitches worked. With white work 6 stitches on a +line with each of the preceding stitches, and on the 2 cords above the +stitches of peach and below the scarlet; with amber silk work 6 stitches +in the same manner. This completes the first diamond. The pattern is +repeated to the end of row. The spaces between the diamonds are worked +as follows: With black work 6 stitches on a line with each stitch of +amber; with peach work the stitches between the black on the 3d and 4th +cords; on the right hand work 6 stitches with blue on the 1st and 2d +cords, and on the left with green; work the centre stitches with silk. +The opposite space is worked in a similar manner, substituting scarlet +for peach. For a cushion it will be necessary to work 4 strips of this +pattern; and, in making it up, a length of velvet ribbon of a similar +width is placed between each division of work.
