From the Publisher
Penwork was a social phenomenon as much as a furniture-decoration technique, allowing the skill and creativity largely of amateurs (and especially of women) to find expression: and resulting in some remarkable pieces which are generously illustrated in 'Penwork'. Noël Riley is the acknowledged expert on Penwork and has invested the fruits of a lifetime of research in this book.
