Ingram Annotation
Glasgow Museums hold one of the finest collections of samplers in the
UK. This book presents a short introduction to the Glasgow Museums' collection
of samplers and another essay on samplers in general - why they were made
etc.; construction methods; use of different stitches, motifs etc., and
other instructive uses such as for learning the alphabet. Then there is
a selection of 40 of the finest/most representative of the 220 samplers
that are held in the collection. The result is a beautiful introduction
to both the world of samplers and the outstanding collection of samplers
held by Glasgow Museums.
