THE CABINET CARD GALLERY 
Wow! The lace on the collar is crocheted, I’m fairly certain, which leaves me curious about the lace of the skirt. The pattern doesn’t seem to be a common crochet design – I’d go crazy making so many tiny little motifs.
I love being able to examine antique needlework at this level of detail – thanks for the post! And please, don’t mind us mildly (or more) obsessive needleworkers – we’re usually harmless.
I believe the child’s mother is under that fringed throw! Look carefully, and you’ll see her head bent down on the left and the outline of her arm holding the child.
