Huish is a comprehensive exploration of the needlework traditions and techniques associated with samplers and tapestry embroideries, written in the early 20th century. The work delves into the history, significance, and artistic qualities of these textile arts, highlighting their evolution and the roles they played in educational and domestic contexts. With a detailed examination of various designs, stitches, and historical examples, the book seeks to educate both enthusiasts and scholars about this often-overlooked aspect of decorative arts. The opening of the text introduces the importance of needlework in the past, emphasizing its prevalence across different social classes and educational institutions, particularly among women. Huish references both literary and historical sources to illustrate how samplers served not only as artistic expressions but also as educational tools. He hints at the rich lineage of sampler-making, asserting that despite the lack of a comprehensive history, the sampler's role has been vital in documenting cultural and social insights. The narrative establishes a framework for understanding the evolving nature of samplers, setting the stage for in-depth discussions on their designs and stitch techniques throughout the book.
