The volume contains numerous black and white illustrations and in later editions, colour prints. It is known in English as the Encyclopedia of Needlework. The encyclopaedia covers a wide range of needlework subjects, including canvas embroidery, crochet, embroidery, gold embroidery, knitting, lace making, macramé, mending, netting, plain stitching, open work, tatting, whitework, and so forth. Within a very short time the encyclopaedia was translated into at least fifteen languages. It is still available and widely used in both printed and digital forms.
