Reader Reviews
This book is one of the standard sources on American needlework, highlighting the collection of Betty Ring. In the introduction Ring explains what lead her on a lifetime of savvy collection. She was initally desirous of learning more about mourning embroideries. At the time, the middle of the twentieth century, this sort of needlework was "more often scorned than appreciated." Ring discovered that in order to study mourning work, she needed to conduct a full-scale study of all American embroidery. The text she supplies in this book -- the detailed, loving, historicity of a true connoisseur -- is almost as revealing as the images. (Still, the belles of the ball of this book are the color illustrations.) Trade paperback, 112 pp, with about 2 to 3 color illustrations on each page. Preface, Introduction, 1 page of End Notes, a 2 page Bibliography, and Index. The work is organized into two categories: Samplers and Silk Embroideries. Within these headings, the work appears by state or region ("the south.") Work from England, Scotland, and Canada makes a brief appearance.
