An article from The Connoisseur surveying English needlework pictures from the Stuart period to the early nineteenth century, written for collectors. It traces the development from flat tent-stitch pictures of Charles I's reign through raised stump-work, bead-work, Queen Anne sentimental pictures, and copies of engravings, then the decline after 1800. It describes the stitches used (tent, long-and-short, satin, knot, plush, lace-stitch, purl) and discusses six illustrated examples. The article ends with advice on buying, framing, cleaning and storing old needlework pictures.
