About this Item

Immediate dispatch from Somerset. Some tanning wear and marking due to age. Hardcover. English. See images for condition. About the book >.>.> The want until now of any complete work on the subject has induced me, in the serviceable form of an Encyclopedia of needlework, to sum up the knowledge and experience which years of study and actual practice have enabled me to accumulate. Careful workers will be able by its help to instruct themselves in every branch of plain and fancy needlework therein, described. The patterns given, even the simplest, were all worked specially for the book and are accurately reproduced and clearly explained. Not to limit my readers to dull directions and theory the book has been copiously illustrated with designs. taken from the artistic productions of countries and periods famed for skill and taste in different branches of needlework. At first sight some of the designs may appear rather difficult to execute, but when the directions are accurately followed all difficulty will disappear. That I was able to make such an interesting selec tion is owing in great measure to the kindness with which certain private collections were placed. (SP).
