These printed charts were produced in the 19th century and published in the Ladies magazines of the day in London, Berlin and Paris as give-aways and as this type of needlework was popular, these charts helped to sell the magazines. Although these printed charts are of simpler designs, and not of the same quality as the hand-painted variety, they were widely used and saved in collections. They are interesting because they reflect the the popular taste of the readers of the magazines.
