Meticulously embroidered pictures that could be framed and
displayed formed a part of a girl's education through the Goergian
period in Britain (1714-1830). This book shows the variety of
subjects and techniques and also glances at the work produced in
American schools. As well as schoolgirls, outstanding women like
Miss Morritt, Mrs Knowles and Miss Linwood produced large
embroidered pictures to simulate paintings, greatly admired at the
time, but now totally neglected. Pictorial needlework also adored
upholstery, chair seats, screens and wallhangings. This book will
be a useful handbook for collectors, museum curators and antique
dealers, and an inspiration to the modern needlewoman.
