An illustrated 1906 article from The International Studio by A. S. Levetus on the peasant embroidery of the Austrian Empire's provinces, including Moravia, Bohemia (Egerland), Carniola, Dalmatia, Herzegovina, Salzburg, Upper Austria and the Tyrol. It describes head-cloths, shirts, cuffs, caps, neckerchiefs, chalice covers and belts, along with their motifs, colours, stitches (cross, satin, plaited, drawn-thread, gold and pearl relief work), materials, and the customs attached to them. Twenty-one photographed figures show pieces from museum and private collections.
