Title: Collecting Georgian and Victorian Crafts
From the front flap:
In a simple, unemcumbered style the author describes the back-
ground of working with cut-paper, feathers, wax, shells, straw
and cork; reveals some of the fascinating history of patchwork,
sand pictures, and painting on velvet, ribbon and glass; tells
some of the stories behind embroidery pictures and Berlin wool
work; and includes information on needlework boxes and tools.
The book contains over two hundred black-and-white photos
and eight pages of color photographs. Most of the illustrations,
taken especially for this book, concentrate on items from
private collections, without neglecting those held by British
and American museums.
This is a book for new collectors, dealers, museum curators and
all those involved in teaching and promoting work in handicrafts.
