Jacobean Embroidery: Its Forms and Fillings including Late Tudor by Ada Wentworth Fitzwilliam & A. F. Morris Hands
Jacobean crewel embroidery had its heyday during the reigns of the Stuart monarchs of England. It was used to adorn wall and bed hangings with rich colors and a wealth of detail, many fine examples of which are preserved in our museums and stately homes today. This book presents a historical background to this type of embroidery, followed by 27 sketches of details from authentic historical works, together with descriptions of the original colors and stitches used. The care with which these have been noted makes this a valuable source book for all those who work Jacobean embroidery today.
