"To the enthusiastic embroiderer of the present day, it is interesting to trace the history of the art back to its very beginning and discover, if possible, how and why the processes which are our heritage came to be a part of the knowledge of the world. A great deal of its early history is told in that intimate book of reference - the Bible - where we read that God gave 'wisdom of heart' to certain men, 'to practice all kinds of cunning work, of the engraver and the embroiderer in blue and purple and scarlet and fine linen.'." --- from "The Art of Embroidery.".…

Color illustrated wrapper with red lettering. 98 very clean unmarked and uncreased historical and informative pages nicely enhanced by black and white and full-color photographs and illustrations! "Embroidery, like all arts and sciences, has passed through a long process of evolution. Its beginnings, however, are so far off, so lost in the past, that we seldom think of it in its crudity. In its first stages all forms wrought on fabrics were perfectly flat, and no attempt at perspective was made. Indeed, perspective was one of the latest developments of art; and previous to the period painting became almost a breathing delineation of what the artist saw, - previous to the most advanced development, - the designer put one thing above another when he meant to say that they were back of each other, and the observer could make it right in his own mind to suit himself." --- from "Shading as the Embroiderer Should Understand It.".…

Red and white illustrated wrapper with red lettering. 97 very clean unmarked and uncreased historical and informative pages nicely enhanced by black and white and full-color photographs and illustrations! "In its various forms lace has held sway for years, and it is not surprising that in these later days when a revival is given to all forms of needlework we should give special attention to the work which has been the inspiration of so many lives. Some one has said there is nothing new but what has once been old, and the caprice of fashion certainly justifies the saying." --- from "The Story of Some Famous Laces.".…

Green and white illustrated wrapper with green lettering. 117 very clean unmarked and uncreased historical and informative pages nicely enhanced by black and white and full-color photographs and illustrations! "There are fashions in fancy work, as in most other mutable things with which frail humanity has to deal. Change, which is the order of our being, governs our taste to a great extent. The coming fancy, as near as one can predict, is for some glow of color in decoration. White, which is in perfect taste, has been for some time universally liked for embellishing articles intended for table use, but now many of the most beautiful pieces are embroidered with colored silks which show perfect fidelity to the natural shades of the flowers depicted'." --- from "Work for Nimble Fingers.".…
