The Joan Stephens Collection: Important Samplers and Pictorial Needlework

This wonderful catalog was prepared in conjunction with an auction held January 19, 1997 at Sotheby's Auction House in New York. With an enlightening forward by Betty Ring, this publication presents one of the most gorgeous collections of samplers (most schoolgirl samplers), memorial embroideries, needlework tools and accessories and other pictorial needlework. An amazing collection!
