Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Jacobean Embroidery: Its Forms and Fillings, Including Late Tudor It is curious how in English embroideries there has always been a predilection on the part of the designers for interlacing stems, and for the inconsequent introduction of birds and beasts. Mons de F arcy, author of La Broderie du Onzi'eme si'ecle jusqu' 2t 1205 jours, remarks that it seems that the position of England, surrounded by the sea on all sides, has provoked in its inhabitants the passion of travelling over the sea, and they came to know, before continental nations, of the parrots and other birds of brilliant plumage so often reproduced in their needlework.
