Embrace a journey back to the intricate artisanship of the early 20th and late 19th centuries with this exclusive offering. Our lot features the May 1, 1917 issue of 'The Mentor,' a detailed exploration of lace and lace-making by Esther Singleton, accompanied by an 1890s 'Art Needlework' booklet. The Mentor issue, adorned with meticulous gravures and a cover that bespeaks the finesse of a bygone era, captures the essence of delicate Venetian, Alençon, and Valenciennes lace, connecting readers to the nobility of the craft. The 'Art Needlework' booklet, priced then at 60 cents, serves as a testament to the cherished domestic arts, promising to elevate any collection.
'The Mentor' issue not only exemplifies the educational literature of the early 1900s but also illuminates the rich heritage of lace as an art form valued across generations. The 1890s 'Art Needlework' booklet serves as a poignant artifact of home arts, reflecting the societal importance placed on handcrafted textiles during the Victorian and Edwardian eras.
This lot will captivate antique book collectors, textile and fabric art enthusiasts, historians of domestic arts, and those with a penchant for Edwardian and Victorian-era artifacts.
Note the authentic wear, indicative of the items' age, adding character and authenticity. The condition of these pieces has been preserved remarkably, considering their vintage status.
