This lavishly illustrated volume is the most complete study of
Greek island embroidery yet published.
Each group of islands developed quite different styles and
repertoires of designs using linen, cotton, and silk. Varying
populations -- urban foreigners and rural natives, Catholic towns
and Orthodox villages, invading navies and armies -- all
contributed to a fusion of styles and motifs that led to one of the
greatest displays of decorative folk art to be found anywhere in
the world.
The styles range from aristocratic and patrician designs from
Rhodes, the monochrome geometric work of Naxos, to the exuberant
narrative style of Skyros and the Ottoman-influenced work of
Epirus.
