A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Op. I
PLATE 1
HIS plate was sketched from a very old strip of Tudor work, measuring about 5ft. 8in. in length and 1ft. 8 in. in width. Each leaf was about 22in. long and 19in. across. The strip had evidently been part of a bed valance, and, as far as one could tell-for it was much faded-had been worked in two shades of wool only-dark indigo blue and bright green; the latter had faded, almost everywhere, to a soft mignonette colour.
