An Excerpt:
"The present book has been prepared in response to a
demand for something fuller and more completely illustrated than the two smaller
handbooks previously printed in my name. My one great object has been to help my
fellow workers to make gloves which will prove a pleasure when finished. Knowing
that this result could only be attained by scientific patterns, I have not
rested satisfied with general appreciation alone, but have had the satisfaction
of seeing my pupils turning out gloves which vied with those of the highest
professional standard. I venture to think this result is confirmed by the
illustrations of the gloves they have made."
(All gloves displayed in this item's plates were produced by her students utilizing
the author's methods which are meticulously presented in the original book, and
hence, in this Unabridged Spiral Bound Book Republication™.)
