Ayrshire Needlework

120ppp. Illustrated. Indexed. Complete with large fold-out pattern pasted in at rear (this is absent from many second hand copies). A lovely, clean and crisp copy, with only a couple of mild marks on front endpaper to prevent it being as new. In original dust jacket (now protected in archival-quality mylar wrap), price clipped. Ayrshire needlework is a delicate, floral patterned whitework which originated in Scotland in the 18th and 19th centuries and has, for its beauty, intricacy and strength become synonymous with christening wear.
