Girlhood Embroidery American Samplers Pictorial Needlework Vols 1 & 2 Betty Ring

Alfred A. Knopf, 1993. First edition cloth bound hardcover two volume set with slipcase of Girlhood Embroidery: American Samplers & Pictorial Needlework, 1650-1850, Volumes 1 & 2 by Betty Ring.

An indispensable reference work for all serious students and collectors of American girlhood embroidery. Lavishly illustrated. An unprecedented book both in its presentation of the art and as a synthesis that links the sampler with the social history of young girls in America.

Very Good. Nice book set with light shelf wear.
