Discover the many styles of
bags, purses and reticules, crafted and carried by the
fashionable Victorian lady during the years from 1860 through
1865. You will find digital images of the original illustrations
from the pages of two popular 1800s fashion magazines -- Godey’s Lady’s Book and Peterson’s Magazine. This
collection spans six years; you would need a library of books to
replace our one ebook! |

Examine the fine art of purse making with
detailed instructions for a variety of crochet, beaded,
knitting, appliqué, and embroidered purses. Craft your own original Civil
War era fashion accessory -- an authentic replica of a purse
carried by a 19th century lady.

Learn the colors, fabrics and
beading used in these period accessories. Find beautiful black/white and color
illustrations - as sharp and clear as when originally published over a
century ago. Each original purse image was scanned at a
high resolution and digitally restored for color and clarity. The digital purse images can be enlarged and
viewed in close-up detail on a computer (a valuable feature for
the researcher, collector and historian) or printed to read
separately.
