These magazines contain a wealth of primary-source information, which I hope to share with those who do not have easy access to copies. NOTE: These are from originals in my personal collection. These images and patterns are made available for private use only. They are NOT to be reproduced for profit. *PATTERNS FROM THE WORKBASKET MAGAZINE c. 1950s-1960s (Click here for Index) Articles & Stories Woman in Her Social Relations (An article from Oct. 1852 Godey's Lady's Book) Recipes Selected 1863 Recipes from Godey's Lady's Book coming soon....all links may not work yet....
