About this book
Lady Alford wrote this history of embroidery in 1886 and dedicated it to the Queen. She had edited a handbook of art needlework for the Royal School at South Kensington in 1880, and here she turned to design, colour and style, as applied to hangings, furniture and dress. Drawing on German, French and English writers, she traces the early schools of the art and the exchanges between them, arguing that needlework deserves more respect than it then received.
