About this ebook
This vintage book contains a short guide to Persian embroidery published by the Victoria and Albert Museum, London. With information on dates, origin, material, and technique, this volume will appeal to those with an interest in historical embroidery, and would make for a fantastic addition to collections of allied literature. Contents include: “Embroidery”, “Prefatory Notes”, “Photographs”, “Brief Guide to the Persian Embroideries”, and “Descriptions of Plates”. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on embroidery.

The Guide has been prepared by Mr. Leigh Ashton of the Department of Textiles under the direction of Mr. A. J.
