Three 1840s-50s Stewart & MacDonald Lace Sample Books.

Founded in 1826, Stewart & MacDonald were one of the great textile and 
fashion enterprises of 19th century Scotland. These three books include 
samples of white and black laces in a variety of styles, both for use in 
fashion and for tablecloths and related articles. The laces are set 
against blue and yellow backgrounds and the albums themselves are quite 
lovely.  3 Sample books. 8”x12” and 7”x12.5”. Two with blue coated page 
stock, 20 pages each, with lace samples tipped in. Not all pages ever 
had samples, and some samples were removed at some point. The third 
album opens accordion-style to show the laces against a yellow ground 
trimmed with gold and framed in white on twelve pages. Again, a few 
samples were removed at some point. Covers with wear and soil.  [44273]
