About This Item
Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1997. First Edition. Paperback. Very good. Andrew Morris, photographer. This slim volume, no longer in print, is part of Cambridge University Press' Fitzwilliam Museum Handbooks series, which the publisher says is "intended to provide a convenient and accessible introduction to subjects within the applied arts....[d]rawing examples from the world-famous collections at the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge." In this case, the examples are an incredible selection of samplers created from the fifteenth through the twentieth centuries. The photography in this book is stellar, not to mention the needlework on display. The book was written by Carol Humphrey, Honorary Keeper of Textiles for the Fitzwilliam and author of several other books on historical needlework, and her signature appears on the title page. A favorite since its publication by scholars and crafters alike.
