Farcy, Louis de, 1841-1921 · 1890 · Angers : Belhomme, Libraire-Éditeur · 12 pictures

A late nineteenth-century French study of embroidery from the eleventh century onward, written by Louis de Farcy and published in Angers in 1890, drawing on surviving specimens and old inventories for a scholarly audience of collectors and historians. Its plates are photographic reproductions of vestments, altar frontals, and fragments, with figures, interlace, and border bands that a designer could draw on for medieval ornament.
