A Book of old embroidery
A Book of Old Embroidery, compiled by A. F. Kendrick and C. Geoffrey Holme and published in London and New York by The Studio in 1921, is a survey of historic embroidery intended for makers and collectors. Its plates are black-and-white photographs of whole embroidered panels, borders and hangings, showing dense repeating floral scrolls, tree-of-life motifs, and geometric lozenge bands that a designer could adapt for surface pattern or textile repeats.
