This book shows the variety of subjects and techniques of embroidered pictures in the Georgian period in Britain (1714-1830).
The late Margaret Swain wrote many books and articles as a result of her research into the history of textiles. She was on the Council of the Embroiderers' Guild and an Honorary Consultant to the Royal Museum of Scotland. In 1989 she was awarded the MBE for services to the history of embroidery.
