A 1913 volume from The Studio, edited by Charles Holme, surveying Italian peasant art through essays and several hundred plates. Essays cover peasant art in the Abruzzi (Vincenzo Balzano), women's crafts (Elisa Ricci), peasant jewellery, and the Neapolitan presepe. The plates show peasant houses, scenes of rural life, regional costumes, pillow, needlepoint, filet and net lace, drawn thread-work, macramé, embroidery, towellings, carpets from Pescocostanzo and Sardinia, jewellery and amulets, wood-carving, metalwork, pottery, cut-paper lace designs and basketwork. It is a general, image-heavy reference on regional textile and craft traditions, with no weaving drafts.
