A terrifically fabulous, beautifully-illustrated history of really  
stunning American schoolgirl needlework of the 17th, 18th and early  
19th centuries. The emphasis is on New England and the mid-Atlantic  
states. There are separate sections devoted to Massachusetts, Rhode  
Island, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Maine, New York, Pennsylvania, New  
Jersey, Delaware, Maryland and the District of Columbia, and also  
short sections on Virginia and the South.

white illustrations, slipcased. Noted Americana dealer Wayne Pratt's s  
et, with his small stamp on the endpaper of each volume. Minor wear, a  
little scuffing, the paper covering of the slipcase is coming off on  
the bottom of the box, as can be seen in the photo. Can be glued back  
down.  $150
