| Summary | "Art in Needlework: A Book about Embroidery" by Lewis F. Day and Mary Buckle is an instructional text focused on the art and practice of embroidery written in the late 19th century. This book serves as a comprehensive guide for needleworkers, designers, and students of this decorative craft, aiming to elevate embroidery from an idle pastime to a recognized art form. The authors explore various stitches, their applications, and the composition of design through a detailed and practical approach, supported by illustrative examples. The opening of the book sets the stage for a thorough exploration of embroidery. Day emphasizes the historical significance and practical utility of needlework, tracing its evolution from primitive stitching to more artistic endeavors. The authors outline their collaborative approach, with Day providing the overarching framework while Buckle contributes technical expertise. They plan to illustrate a variety of stitches and techniques, making use of samplers and diagrams to enhance understanding. The introductory chapters promise a deep dive into different stitching methods, including canvas stitches, crewel, and chain-stitch, each followed by intricate illustrations to guide the reader.
