Vienna LNS & Needlework Book
Hi Guys,
OK -- I finally have the book here next to me so that I can tell you a bit the LNS & the book. First off, the shop info: Ludwig Nowotny Freisingergasse,4 A 1010 Wien Austria Wien is what Vienna is called in Austria :-). Internet info is: e-mail to office@nowotny@at web site http://www.nowotny.at As I said in my first post, the shop is wonderful. Much to my surprise, DH took a picture of MOI looking into the front window the evening we found the shop. I will be putting up some Vienna pics in their own album at Webshots and I will be sure to include the pc of the shop. So, to the book, title is Animal Embroideries and Patterns from 19th Century Vienna -- copyright 2001 by Idearte Srl, via Cappuccio, 18 , 20124 Milan, Italy. The printing info for this book: Published 2002 by Antique Collector's Club, Sandy Lane, Old Martlesham, Woodbridge, Suffolk, UK. Also shown is Market Street Industrial Park, Wappinger's Falls, NT 12590, USA (I assume this is the US importer of the book). The new patterns (made from the old 19th century designs) are made by Rafella Serena (author of the book), Art Director: Dondina Assoc. ISBN 1 85149 401 4 and a catalogue number for the book is available from the British Library. OK -- so much for the boring but necessary stuff. The book has 237 pages which includes a one page bibliogrophy. I *think* I have seen this book before but don't know if it was in a library, book store or LNS this side of the pond. This is the second book these people have done -- the first was all floral designs for those interested. The subjects included a children and Animals, Cats (wouldn't have bought the book if there were no kittes -- lol), Dogs, Animals of Various Kinds (butterflies, wolves, sheep, working animals, etc.) Parrots and Other Birds, Horses, Hunting, Fowl, Exotic Animals (lione, tigers, elephants, other jungle animals). Then there is a section on How to Use the Patterns, Charts to the Patterns, Bibliogrophy. In the opening section, the author says "... For this book I have collected a wide number of embroideries depicting animals. Most of them come from the Nowotny collection in Vienna...". She goes on to say that the shop began in vienna in 1818 and was in the same family until 1993 when it was taken over by its current owner, Annelise von Primavesi. To paraphrase the author, the owners of the shop commissioned original designs, some from the best painters in Vienna. What I find most intriguing in the book is that, when possible, the author will give a picture of a finished piece or the painting it was taken from, then you see pictures of old original charts and also some pictures of a new chart. There is a wonderfulpicture of a stag's head chart. It is an original and looks to be hand painted -- they didn't have the colored pencils we have back in those days. there are MANY charts for embroidered sllippeers -- something we don't have any more but still lovely just the same. The photos of the original patterns show the attribution info on them and several have hand written notations or numbers, etc. The photos of the original charts show crease lines and other age related things on them. Not all the pictures have charts but some of them are so clear that you could use them to stitch from. Here's another thing I find interesting. I had thought that there was very little "scenic" cross stitch done back then. I thought most scenic designs were done in needlepoint and then framed or made into a cushion or those slippers, etc. But looking at some of these photos, I see that several are done in cross stitch! There is a lovely picture of a shepherd sitting with his dogs that is done in cross stitch! The patterns are all done in black & white symbols and all of the charts are together, then you have symbol charts in the same order as the patterns were printed. The author also gives advice on the type of needlework to be used (cross stitch or petit point [what I personally call needlepoint]) and the type of fiber to be used. It is truly a lovely book and is fairly new. Not sure if any of you have it, if so, I would love to hear what you think of it! It was reasonably priced, I think, at 47Euros (that's about $60) and is well worth the money! If anyone is interested in more info, just let me know and I will see if I can help. CiaoMeow ^;;^ PAX, Tia Mary ^;;^ Queen of Kitties Angels can't show their wings on earth but nothing was ever said about their WHISKERS!! Nothing is complete without a few cat hairs!

Oh brother, that's Wien, not Vien. You'd think I would proofread a foreign
word. :) Rachel in Scottsdale "Rachel Duke" wrote in message ... Thanks a bunch for your information on Vien. In case anyone else is interested, here is the USA website for this book. http://www.antique-acc.com/ACCUS/aca...tiles_226.html Rachel in Scottsdale' |
