Joan Edwards surveys English-language books on embroidery published between 1840 and 1940, sorted into four groups: historical surveys, reference books, books on design and colour, and ephemera. She discusses authors, publishers, editions, pirated American reprints, and how the books reflect changing attitudes toward design versus technique, from Berlin work to the Arts and Crafts movement and modern embroidery. Titles discussed include works by Elizabeth Stone, Miss Lambert, Lady Alford, Caulfeild, Mrs. Christie, May Morris, Lewis F. Day, Mary Hogarth, Mary Thomas and Mrs. Beeton.
