"Embroidered Samplers from the outstanding collection in the Victoria and Albert Museum provide both a historical survey of this popular needlework art and a practical guide to the different types of stitches. Details of individual motifs are shown alongside full colour photographs of the complete samplers while stitch types and techniques are explained through photographic details and clear line drawings." "Samplers provides a gallery of some of the most important and beautiful pieces in the V&A and an opportunity to see in close-up fragile objects which by their nature cannot remain on permanent display or be seen in strong light." -- BOOK JACKET
