Punched paper card partially embroidered

Peach, apple, strawberries on a plate

Punched paper cardboard, with an embroidery pattern printed on it and already partially embroidered. No publishers mark or date. A step up from the outline pre-punched embroidery cards for kindergarten children. Some stitch placement suggestions, otherwise all left to the embroiderer. Punched paper was a popular embroidery ground, as it wouldn't deform when stitches were pulled too tight. Paper was also sold under the name of Toilecrosse.

As the introduction says, making modern reproductions whch, while quite as lovely as the old rugs, have been simplified in design and workmanship to fit the needs of the needlewoman of today. There's a Halloween witch rug pattern and one that clearly is from before WW2 which would not be suitable to make and display in modern times. For the footstool covers smaller Berlin woolwork floral patterns can be used instead of the patterns offered for sale here, which will no longer be available.

Lehner, Gilbert.

Theater-Decorationen - Goethe's Faust

Verlag von Hekling & Spielmeyer, Berlin.

Fourteen scenery paintings in color, glued to separate grey carton leaves. Accompanied by five pages of explanation how the theater background and coulisses were to be set up. Not much for needlework, but of course suitable as design for theatre backgrounds. Would look fabulous as wall painting.

Embroidery pattern for dark green wallet or clutch

Journal des Demoiselles

Single sheet, with a dark green oblong and three parts of embroidery, intended to be folded over and the bottom sides sewn to the middle, with the top remaining as flap. The embroidery is couched gold cord, with what looks like mostly applique of two types embroidered or printed ribbon. Such items were common in earlier ages as portefeuilles. The Rijksmuseum has one from Michiel de Ruyter, with beads and embroidery, from the seventeenth century. Still useful as wallet or clutch or holder for a smartphone.

Japanese colored drawings

Eight colored drawings of Japanese origin. They show mythical air spirits playing musical instruments. The drawings were photographed while still in protective sleeves, which is why the background color is uneven. The faces and bodies of these musicians are done in very light grey, whereas the clothes and other accessoires are boldly drawn and colored.

Round pattern in blue, red, gold, brown and black

Journal des Demoiselles, Boulevart des Italiens N. 1

Supplement from the 17th year of Journal des Demoiselles. A round pattern printed on cream cardboard. A red border with a gold and black chain design, and the center with blue and brown curlicues outlined in black and gold. The background color was not given but might be white. The pattern looks symmetrical but isn't. It would be suitable for a round decorative pillow cover or table center. It's probably too large for a hot plate if done in beadwork.

A sadly incomplete version of the Embroiderers Alphabet, containing only covers, the last two cross-stitch plates, and all the advertisements. Later editions of the same title also contained whitework alphabets and borders. Since this is an early version, so are the publications mentioned in the advertisement. Not charted because those charts are available in other editions.
