ART NEEDLEWORK and EMBROIDERY TRANSFERS 1870-1970
Usually printed in 3 - 5 business days
Molly Proctor, notable collector of historical needlework and author of Needlework Tools and Accessories: A Collectors' Guide and Victorian Canvas Work: Berlin Wool Work has now turned her attention to the hitherto neglected field of needlework stitched from printed transfers.
Proctor interviewed workers (many of whom are now dead) connected with the transfer print industry and reveals a history of patent disputes, Victorian patterns, Art Deco and Art Nouveau artists, needle etchings, occupational therapy for wounded soldiers, even a soldier stitching at Dunkirk while waiting for rescue.
Illustrated throughout with beautiful colour photographs, this is a book both to inform the historian and inspire the needlewoman.
