Book excerpt: Art in needlework: a book about embroidery By Lewis Foreman Day Art in Needlework: A Book About Embroidery is an instructional originally published in 1900 and written by Lewis F. Day and Mary Buckle. As the name suggests, this book is all about the techniques and materials one must master in order to become an expert in the art of embroidery. Art in Needlework begins with a series of chapters on specific stitches used in embroidery. From canvas and crewel stiches to herringbone and buttonhole stitches, all of the basics and a great deal of the advanced stitches are detailed here. Large black and white images accompany the text, greatly assisting those who are oriented more towards visual learning.

Download or read book Tudor Textiles written by Eleri Lynn and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2020-04-03 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A detailed study of Tudor textiles, highlighting their extravagant beauty and their impact on the royal court, fashion, and taste At the Tudor Court, textiles were ubiquitous in decor and ceremony. Tapestries, embroideries, carpets, and hangings were more highly esteemed than paintings and other forms of decorative art. Indeed, in 16th-century Europe, fine textiles were so costly that they were out of reach for average citizens, and even for many nobles. This spectacularly illustrated book tells the story of textiles during the long Tudor century, from the ascendance of Henry VII in 1485 to the death of his granddaughter Elizabeth I in 1603. It places elaborate tapestries, imported carpets, lavish embroidery, and more within the context of religious and political upheavals of the Tudor court, as well as the expanding world of global trade, including previously unstudied encounters between the New World and the Elizabethan court. Special attention is paid to the Field of the Cloth of Gold, a magnificent two-week festival—and unsurpassed display of golden textiles—held in 1520. Even half a millennium later, such extraordinary works remain Tudor society’s strongest projection of wealth, taste, and ultimately power.
