Peasant Art
Book · 264 pages
An illustrated survey of peasant art in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, edited by Charles Holme and published by The Studio in 1911. Essays by A. S. Levetus, Dr. M. Haberlandt and Aladár Kriesch-Körösföi cover Austria, Hungary, Transylvania, Croatia and Slavonia. They are followed by several hundred plates arranged by region (Upper and Lower Austria, Salzburg, Tyrol, Bohemia, Moravia, Silesia, Galicia, Dalmatia, Bosnia, Bukovina, Hungary, Transylvania and Croatia). The plates show houses, carved and painted furniture, pottery, metalwork and jewellery, costume, embroidery, pillow lace and hand-woven carpets. The weaver's interest lies mainly in the embroidery, lace, carpet and costume plates, since there are no weaving drafts.

A 1913 volume from The Studio, edited by Charles Holme, surveying Italian peasant art through essays and several hundred plates. Essays cover peasant art in the Abruzzi (Vincenzo Balzano), women's crafts (Elisa Ricci), peasant jewellery, and the Neapolitan presepe. The plates show peasant houses, scenes of rural life, regional costumes, pillow, needlepoint, filet and net lace, drawn thread-work, macramé, embroidery, towellings, carpets from Pescocostanzo and Sardinia, jewellery and amulets, wood-carving, metalwork, pottery, cut-paper lace designs and basketwork. It is a general, image-heavy reference on regional textile and craft traditions, with no weaving drafts.
