An article by Lois K. Williams describing a series of petitpoint wool-on-canvas embroidered pictures she made on events before and during World War II, from "Winter Skies" (1938) through "Cloudy Skies," "Blitzkrieg," "Scorched Earth," "The Target" (D Day), "Vapor Trails" (V Day) and "The Atom Bomb." Each picture is about 20 by 27 inches. The series was shown at French and Company in 1948 and later at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Four of the embroideries are reproduced as plates. The last page carries plates from an unrelated item, the 16th-century Nüw Modelbuch pattern book.
