An Illustrated History of Needlework Tools by Gay Ann Rogers

This is the first authoritative, comprehensive and fully-illustrated survey of these attractive objects. It will be particularly valuable for its coverage of the Victorian and early Twentieth-century periods. Many hundreds of examples drawn from Britain, Europe, America and Asia are illustrated and fully described. The main categories covered are: workboxes, sewing cases, chatelaines, needlecases, thimbles and thimblecases, scissors, tape measures, emery and wax holders, pincushions, thread containers, clamps, tatting shuttles, lace bobbins, crochet hooks and knitting and netting tools.
