Combined issue (Vol. 42, Nos. 1 & 2, 1958) of the Bulletin of the Needle and Bobbin Club. Peter Thornton discusses an 18th-century treatise on designing patterns for flowered silks in G. Smith's Laboratory (1756), comparing English and French practice, describing the types of figured silks, and arguing that Anna Maria Garthwaite may have been its author, with plates of Spitalfields silk designs. Edith A. Standen examines an unusual tapestry given to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 1956, asking whether it is Portuguese, and illustrates its emblematic border scenes. The issue closes with club notes, an obituary and a list of officers.
