Discovering embroidery of the nineteenth century

by Santina M. Levey

For many years the study of fine and decorative arts stopped at 1830, the remainder of the nineteenth century being dismissed as totally lacking in taste and artistic refinement, During recent years, however, this situation has radically altered and the arts of the nineteenth century are now viewed with a more understanding eye and their true merits are at last appreciated.

[Roisin Walsh · Rating 3 out of 5]

Small, black-and-white volume, more of a booklet than a book. Gives a brief overview of different styles and terminology associated with 19th Century needlework.
