SUMMARY- I've only ever seen these books as reproductions - the booklets are extremely rare, but worth pursuing if you like traditional tatting. The pictures are black-and-white and not designed to help the tatter figure out the pattern. The instructions are very hard to read they are such small print. But the patterns are attractive. Only three(3) of the designs in this book are for tatters, but they are attractive.

Mrs. Brown was a regular contributor to "Modern Priscilla", a women's magazine that ran from 1888 to 1930. She contributed many patterns to its pages - mostly crochet.

If you know of anyone with more of these booklets that would be interested in parting with them, I'd love to have you contact me. Just go to my contact page for instructions on how to do that.
