Inhaltsangabe

Meticulously embroidered pictures that could be framed and displayed formed a part of a girl's education throughout the Georgian period in Britain (1714-1830). This book explores the subjects and techniques associated with them and also looks briefly at the work produced in American schools. As well as schoolgirls, prominent women such as Miss Morritt, Mrs Knowles and Miss Linwood produced large embroidered pictures to simulate paintings, which although greatly admired at the time are now almost totally neglected. Pictorial needlework also adorned upholstery, chair seats, screens and wall hangings. this book will be a useful handbook for collectors, museum curators and antique dealers, and an inspiration to the modern needleworker.
