Pattern in the Lady's Magazine. This hand-coloured pattern, shaded to indicate colours for the maker, is unique among those published in the magazine. Only one hand-coloured image – a fashion plate which you can visit on our sister site Fashion in the Age of Bridgerton – was produced for the periodical before this. No subsequent needlework patterns in the magazine were hand-coloured, leaving shading choices to makers.
