About This Item
National Trust, 1998. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good Condition/Very Good. A nicely kept copy. Previous owner's name and address label on flyleaf, contents otherwise unmarked, price-clipped jacket. the book offers a very comprehensive introduction to English country house embroideries and tapestries through the 16th to the 19th centuries, mainly because of the unique circumstances which have led to the preservation of the textiles at Hardwick. There are generous colour illustrations, an engaging overview of the rise and decline of the British aristocracy, and a tantalising peep into the lives of the people who helped create some of the amazingly varied styles of embroidered and woven textiles in the collection, not least Bess of Hardwick who is a legend in herself.
