Glossy printed paper covers. 202 pages : illustrations (some color) ; 26 cm. from the inside cover flap: "Antique Needlework is a comprehensive guide to the rich variety of decorative needlework which has been produced up to the present day. The achievements of all periods are outlined but the author, Lanto Synge, treats in more detail the areas of special interest to experts, collectors, and contemporary needleworkers. The needlework of the past is at last being revalued and is becoming increasingly popular with collectors. At the same time there has been a widespread renewal of interest in the craft: it is particularly hoped that the book will provide an inspiration and source of ideas and designs for today's embroiderers. The approach to the subject is a fresh one and should be of value to historians, collectors and modern needleworkers alike. Many fine pieces are illustrated from public and private collections - a large number of these photographs are published for the first time." 202 pages including Glossary, Bibliography, Photographic Acknowledgments and Index.
