pa.NK9243.S93Description
Embroidered pictures of the seventeenth century still abound on boxes, mirror frames and bookbindings. The tiny figures dressed in opulent garments, exquisitely embroidered and set in a flowery landscape, are admired for their doll-like appearance, though the subjects are often obscure to the modern eye. This book gives a readable and authoritative account of how they came to be made, who made them and where they obtained their designs. It will be a useful handbook to collectors, museum curators and dealers and an inspiration to the moderns needlewoman.Collection
