Church embroidery
A 1911 London guide to church embroidery by Alice Dryden, published by A. R. Mowbray, covering ecclesiastical vestments and their needlework. The pictures show a dark cope with woven-in motifs, a Jesse Tree cope fragment with birds and foliage in a scrolling pattern, and two diagrammatic stitch and weave patterns, which a designer could take as models for repeating ornament and textile structure.
