Paris, Sajou, [c.1890], accordian foldout

Small leporello with eight pages and three complete alphabets, brown cover. The alphabets are all for whitework embroidery, qua size suitable for marking linen, but more decorative than marking alphabets usually are. One alphabet decorated with flowers, one with branches with leaves, and the third has half a garland around the letters, such as is seen on napkins and handkerchiefs.
