Greek embroidery 17th-19th century. Works of art from the collections of the Victoria and Albert Museum

Catalogue accompanying the exhibition that took place at the Benaki Museum Piraios Street Annexe from 12 April 2006 to 28 May 2006. A selection of 145 pieces of Greek embroidery, from the collections of the Victoria & Albert Museum and the Benaki Museum, is used in an attempt to provide a detailed record of three centuries of the art of embroidery, as it took shape throughout Greece. The publication includes a wealth of photographic material, which highlights the technical and illustrative worth of Greek embroidery in full detail. The introductory note and annotations are written by folklorist Tatiana Ioannou-Yiannara.
