Church embroidery
A 1911 London handbook on church embroidery by Alice Dryden, published by A. R. Mowbray, aimed at makers and students of ecclesiastical textiles. The first picture is a numbered diagram of a woven ground pattern in dense black and white hatching, and the second shows a photographed fragment of a Jesse Tree cope with birds and blossoms worked on a dark ground, useful for designers studying medieval textile repeats, woven grounds and stylised floral motifs.
