Plate LXXVI. TWO SPECIMENS OF THE EMBROIDERED MUSLIN WORK, CALLED TÖNDER LACE

In No. 1 only one thickness of muslin is employed: the thicker looking parts of the toilé result from the passing of very evenly darned threads at the back of it

In No. 2 two thicknesses of muslin are used. The floral forms, much more slender than in No. 1, are defined with a stout thread cordonnet.

Together 5 ft. 10 in.

Danish, 18th century
