Hello Liz
Mine is 6" x 9.5" and the reverse of the title page just says
"To be had:
of Th de Dillmont, Dornach, Alsace
and at all booksellers, and embroidery shops
-
Price, English bound with gilt edges:
English Edition . . . Sh 3-
French Edition . . . Fr 3.75
German Edition . . . Mk 3- "
There is no number at the bottom of that page
I made a note, from a previous Arachne discussion that it was printed
in Dornash until 1923 and after that in Mulhouse.
I paid 13.00 GBP for it, probably about 25 years ago.

I've been collating these books for some years and so far have
established
that there were 18 editions in English covering the years 1895
(handwritten
by the first owner) up to 1955. I've also got a modern reprint and
I've
details of 5 French editions and 2 German.
If anyone has the Encyclopedia of Needlework by Th. de Dillmont and
wants to
send to send me the details, I'd like to know the number at the bottom
on
the reverse of the title page, the number of copies published and the
number
of pages as well as the size. There was a 'pocket' edition and another
twice the size. If there are any other details such as the bookseller,
I'd
be interested in that too.
