Book excerpt: First published in 1893, this work is an instructional manual on embroidery. It discusses many aspects of decorative needlework, and contains numerous illustrations to explain the techniques involved. It is a fantastic book for anyone wishing to learn the skill and get started on some needlework creations of their own. The following passage is an extract from the work stating the author's aim: 'I have tried to show that executive skill and the desire of and feeling for beauty, realized in a work of definite utility, are the vital and essential elements of this as of all other branches of art, and that no one of these elements can the embroideress neglect or overlook if her work is to have life and meaning. If she pursues her craft with due care, and one might even say with enthusiasm, however, she will not only taste that keen pleasure which every one feels in creative work, however unpretending, but the product will be such as others will be careful to preserve: this in itself being an incentive to good work.' To this volume is added a specially commissioned introduction to the art of embroidery.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Art Embroidery: A Treatise on the Revived Practice of Decorative Needlework It is many years Since the samplers of our granda mothers gave place to the fancy-work of modern times, and we are only now beginning to perceive all the uselessness and ugliness of those productions which have brought this term into such dis repute, and have caused the adoption of one of greater refinement and at the same time of greater pretension, viz., Art Needlework. In order that we may be justified in the use of such a term, we Should be fully aware' of all that is implied in it, and, not satisfied With merely following a passing fashion, possess ourselves of lasting principles by which to regulate our work - principles that at the same time may be a growing source of refined pleasure, as leading to the cultivation of the artistic sense.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Catalogue of the Special Loan Exhibition of Decorative Art Needlework Made Before 1800 Canon Rock, after quoting passages from the works of Pliny to show that the Phrygians were renowned for their skill in the art of embroidery, says that In Latin, while an embroiderer was called a Phrygian, Plzrygio, needlework was denominated P/zrygium or Phrygian stuff; hence when, as often happened, the design was wrought in solid gold wire or golden thread, the embroidery so worked got named A From this term comes our own' English word Orphrey.' Though deformed after so many guises, by the witless writers of many an inventory of church goods, or by the sorry cleric who, in a moment of needful haste, had been called upon to draw up a will other men, however small their learning, always spelled the word orp/zrey in English and aurzp/zryg ium in Latin.
