A book of old embroidery
A book of old embroidery by A. F. Kendrick and C. Geoffrey Holme, published in London by The Studio in 1921, surveying historic embroidered textiles from England and Italy for embroidery and decorative art readers. The plates show embroidered velvet hangings, a white silk tunic, and a linen hanging with crewel-worked tree patterns, with dense couched outlines, satin stitch fields, and scrolling floral vines that a designer could adapt for surface pattern or textile motifs.
