Description

This is a classic article on Greek embroidery, especially that found on women's chemises.

The chemise is a basic garment worn by peasant women all over the Balkans for many centuries, as late as the twentieth century in some places.

The article aims to illustrate and discuss the embroidery of nineteen chemises that could be found at the Metropolitan Museum if Art, New York, and was originally written as part of the author's doctoral dissertation.

This volume is highly recommended for those with an interest in history of embroidery, and it would make for a worthy addition to collections of related literature.

Contents include: "A History of Textiles and Weaving", "Variables", "Regional Embroidery Styles", "Summary", and "Appendix".

Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive.

It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on the history of textile and weaving.
