[Savoie]. [Embroidery, sewing]. ÉCRIN DE LA JEUNE FILLE. Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne (Savoie), c. 1850, in-folio, large album [37.5 x 38 cm, spine 14 cm] of 2 calligraphied leaves, 44 sample leaves and 6 blank leaves, all mounted on tabs, full black chagrin, decorated with cold and gilt fillets, top cover with title "Écrin de la jeune fille", gilt edges, binding and page restored. A unique and exceptional album featuring numerous miniature models of garments made by young girls, a moving testimony to the needlework that kept them busy during their years at boarding school. It opens with a calligraphic title page: "Hommage de reconnaissance offert à notre digne mère. Les élèves du pensionnat. St-Jean de Maurienne". The second sheet contains a 16-line poem, "À notre digne mère, ses chères enfants" ("To our worthy mother, her dear children"). The models are sewn on fine pink canvas, stretched under strong cardboard mats, most with a calligraphic title. They range from the most basic exercises (darning, stitch, patches) to the most intricate work, including embroidery, lace, tapestry stitch and German stitch. Shirts, aprons, bonnets, stockings and socks, petticoats, dresses, blouses, camisoles and capelines, bed linen, etc. are all produced here in miniature with remarkable skill. Particularly noteworthy are a black dress cinched at the waist with a long blue ribbon, a mantelet of the same fabric, a straw hat with black ribbon; a beautiful complete ensemble in striped satin, sewn with white pearls, comprising a dress, a shirt and a bow; or a "Marie-Antoinette fichu" in red wool. The Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne boarding school, where this album was created, was founded in 1830 by the Congrégation des soeurs de Saint-Joseph. It catered for the town's poor and wealthy girls from the seventh grade upwards. In addition to classical subjects, the program emphasized needlework, as reported by Abbé Truchet, historian of the Congrégation des soeurs de Saint Joseph de Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne: "filet, filet-guipure, crochet, etc.., (S. Truchet, La Congrégation des soeurs de Saint-Joseph de Saint-Jean de Maurienne (Savoie), Currière, 1894).
