Cover of the booklet Merklappen. Oud en Nieuw, by Ms H. Bottema (1942).Cover of the booklet Merklappen. Oud en Nieuw, by Ms H. Bottema (1942).Some weeks ago we published a blog about an intriguing booklet, published in 1942, called  Merklappen Oud en Nieuw ('Samplers. Old and New') by Hillegonda Bottema (1913-1968; Kampen: J.H. Kok). It contains a series of embroidery charts, originating from various older sources. Some people having read the article have asked whether they could have a copy of the booklet, or at least have a look at it.  A copy of it is in the TRC Library, and we are pleased to attach a PDF-file of a scanned version for anyone who is interested. Please bear in mind that some of the pages are difficult to scan and read because of the original colours.

Just click here for the PDF-file. Enjoy!
