This fantastic book showcases the Embroiderers' Guild's huge collection of embroidered birds through the ages, some of which date back to the seventeenth century. Featuring photographs taken especially for the book, items are shown in full and also in detail images to show off the birds at their best and each has an extended caption giving the country of origin, age, size and the embroidery techniques employed to make them. A great opportunity to see fabulous embroideries that are rarely seen in public.
