I found in the book "Encykopädie der weiblichen Handarbeiten" by Therese De Dillmont , printed 1893 in Dornach, Elsass a chapter about latch hooking. The book was also published in France and England. So latch hooking was known in Germany, France and England in the late 19th century. Hope this helps a little.
