Description
3" (8 cm.) x 3 1/2". Within each of the firm-sided "books" are four silk pages with hand-stitched
edging,and hand-painted figures of women or soldiers. The figures are designed as though
holding a rifle or a parasol,and where these would appear is actually a fine steel needle. The
pages were cleverly designed to immediately show if a needle (expensive at that time) was
missing. One book is printed F. G. Schule (and other illegible words) on the front cover,and the
other,depicting a row of women,is labeled on that spread "Schule's Scene (illegible) Madchen in
Uniform". Very good/excellent condition. Extremely rare sewing antique,early-19th century.
