For everyone who collects and appreciates the age-old art of needlework (either novice or advanced collector), this new value guide by Maryanne Dolan will be a welcome addition to the library. Beginning with an interesting and detailed introduction to the origins and history of needlework over the past 200 years, the book proceeds to a series of clear black and white photographs of collectible linens, each of which is accompanied by informative commentary about the current value. From aprons to undergarments and lettuce bags to table cloths, the photographs and illustrations lure you into an era where the linens that furnished the home were an expression of the artistry of the homemaker. If you have an interest in antique needlework, or if you would like to learn more about the subject, this well written book will provide hours of interesting reading.
