This is a lace sample book, used historically to showcase handmade lace or crochet work. Needleworkers, students, or artisans commonly created these sample books to document techniques, patterns, or finished pieces. They also served as portfolios for demonstrating skills to potential clients or employers.
 
The lace styles and patterns on display look like handmade bobbin lace or crochet, which were popular in the Victorian and Edwardian periods. Patterns like these were widely taught in needlework classes during that time.
