An illustrated article tracing the printed sources (woodcuts and engravings from sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Bibles and print series) used as patterns for Scriptural scenes in English Tudor and Stuart embroideries. It pairs photographs of petit-point panels, valances, needlepoint pictures and embroidered bookbindings with the woodcuts and engravings they copy, covering Adam and Eve, Tobias, Jacob, Solomon, Abraham and Hagar, Rebekah, David and Bathsheba, and Belshazzar. It ends with a list of embroidered examples of each subject in museums and private collections.
