“Pattern Sources Of Scriptural Subjects In Tudor And Stuart Embroideries” explores the colourful history of embroidery, focusing on the sources of design of “scriptural” subjects in English needlework during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. This vintage book will appeal to those with an interest in the history and development of European needlework. Contents include: “A History of Textiles and Weaving”, “Pattern Sources of Scriptural Subjects in Tudor and Stuart Embroideries”, and “Embroideries of Scriptural Subjects Identified with Engravings in the 'Thesaurus Sacrarum', of Gerard de Jode, Antwerp, 1585”. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on embroidery.
