The technique of the work isworthy of all praise, and tlie design is interesting.

The portraitin-e of the Virgin and saints in the frieze aboveis of extraordinary merit. A Spanish Renaissance armorial appliqueembroidery is illustrated on Ilate XXVIII. ENGLISH RENAISSANCE AND LATER Plate VIII illustrates English picture embroideries of the lasthalf of the sixteenth century, the upper one from the collection ofthe Corporation of ^laidstone, the lower one a petit point in theMetropolitan INIuseum.
