By: Jantiene van ElkIn the library of the Textile museum lots of beautiful old pattern book are kept. Actually, craft isn´t in our collection profile, but many people donate these beautiful books to us and luckily some were accepted in the past. I love to see what intricate designs women could make, what styles were in fashion and how the patterns are presented.
These pictures are from Beyers Handwerkboeken / serie H No. 62 : Kunstbreiwerk. Kunstbreiwerk translates as Art knitwork. Art knitwork could be used as rims and borders on lingerie, as you see on the picture. The book is undated. The patterns are on a seperate sheet.
The book is available in the library (only on show, not for lending). Library openings hours: tuesday till friday, 10:00 till 13:00.Kunstbreiwerk / Otto Beyer. -Zeist : Van Wees & Weiss, [s.a.]. (Beyers Handwerkboeken / serie H No. 62)

Als het museum de volgende erfenis van dat type niet wil, stuur hem dan maar door naar Oisterwijk!
If, a next time, the museum would refuse such a legacy, I will kindly step forward to take it ;-)
