A 1919 essay by Florence N. Levy of the Art Alliance of America arguing that hand needlework, lace, embroidery, tapestry and handweaving deserve encouragement in the United States. She links handicraft to industrial design, employment and social welfare, and cites efforts to revive tapestry weaving in Scotland and to train disabled men. She also mentions village handweaving in France and Italy and Scottish hand-made tweeds. She closes with proposals for the Needle and Bobbin Club to cooperate with the Art Alliance, and a photograph shows a Mille Fleurs tapestry by Manuel Gengoult.
