A very in depth technical treatise on embroidery techniques. I read the kindle version so there were no illustrations which was disappointing, but a really good book non-the-less. It was written in 1905.
A very thorough introduction to embroidery and tapestry weaving. Unfortunately the Kindle version does not provide any of the many illustrations that are referenced throughout the book. I think that, with the aid of illustrations, one could successfully begin the crafts described.
