An illustration of the lockstitch sewing machine, invented in 1844 by Elias Howe (1819-67). The machine made much stronger fabrics than previously as the stitches did not unravel if the thread broke. From Frank Puterbaugh Bachman's 1918 book Great Inventors and their Inventions, American Book Co., New York, USA.
