British Galleries: EMBROIDERED MIRROR FRAME AND UNFINISHED FRAME From about 1660 to 1680 a popular activity for amateur needlewomen was the embroidery of frames for mirrors. The maker may have drawn out the motifs herself, or bought a ready-drawn panel. The unfinished panel shows that the maker had worked some areas in great detail before starting on new motifs. Both panels use common imagery such as the King and Queen and characters from the Bible. [27/03/2003]
