Czecho-slovak peasant art ... : peasant embroideries, lace and wall decorations
A 1921 American publication issued by E. Weyhe, documenting Czechoslovak peasant embroideries, lace and wall decorations for artists and decorative designers, with plates labelled Broderies Populaires Tchéco-Slovaques. The plates show embroidered borders, runners and textile panels in red, purple, green and yellow, built from repeated flowers, geometric lozenges and stylised birds. A designer could take from them rhythmic border strips, folk floral motifs and bold colour pairings on dark or ochre grounds.
