Description

This document is an original copy of "Le Journal des Brodeuses" (The Embroiderers' Journal), a professional embroidery magazine, dated August 1, 1950 (No. 665). The richly illustrated cover features a detailed black and white floral frame, characteristic of the graphic style of mid-20th-century craft publications. The header highlights the decorative typography of the title and states the magazine's monthly publication in Lyon, rue d'Algérie.

The visible page offers "AMR" monogram patterns for embroidery, available in several styles and sizes, as well as floral and ornamental motifs for personalizing pillowcases, towels, shirts, or household linen. The designs are clean, precise, with attention to the details of the letters and ornaments, demonstrating the graphic expertise of the era.

The left side of the page presents a summary listing the various projects and alphabets offered in this issue, including monograms, lingerie motifs, and alphabets for various textile uses. The document also highlights the medal obtained at the Lyon Exhibition in 1913, a testament to the publication's seriousness.

The journal is printed in black on cream paper, with a slight patina and some visible stains, typical of old papers. The corners are slightly dog-eared and the left edge shows signs of wear, without affecting the legibility of the texts or patterns. The inscriptions are perfectly readable.

The cover features the publisher's details (F. Laurent, Lyon), the correspondence address, and the subscription terms of the time. The overall presentation, with its vegetal ornaments and graphics, is typical of professional materials dedicated to textile arts of the 20th century.
