Article by Frances Morris on the exhibition of English domestic embroidery held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in November, with background on English needlework from the Middle Ages through the 18th century. It covers the Bayeux Tapestry, opus Anglicanum, blackwork, and the needlework of Elizabeth I, Mary Queen of Scots and Bess of Hardwick. Described objects include the Calthorpe Purse, biblical pillow covers, the Edmund Harrison Adoration of the Shepherds, quilts, a mirror, an embroidered Bible binding, a Judgement of Solomon picture and embroidered gloves. Seventeen plates illustrate the pieces, and lists of English and American lenders close the article.
