SUMMARY- The pictures inside are black-and-white. All the patterns are for filet crochet. But the patterns are quite lovely - makes me wish I knew how to crochet! Mrs. Brown appears to have collaborated with Mrs. Kirchmaier before striking out with her own booklets published in the same town. There are 100 different patterns in this book, including two monogram sets, Comedy/Tragedy Masks, an attacking griffin, the American eagle, spider and fly edging, hare, rooster, Pagodas, ornate frog, Circus performers - just lots of fun and lovely meshes.
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.
