Book excerpt: "Embroidered textiles are the most personal art form practiced by the Arts & Crafts Movement (c. 1860-1910). This is art from another time, which has its own story to tell. Some are the humble workaday pieces for home use, while others are staggering works of art. This book features over 380 photos of the work of famous designers, including William Morris and Gustav Stickley."--Publisher description.
