WONDERFUL EXHIBIT OF NEEDLE WORK
FROM LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY.
Located in the southeastern section Of
the Women's Pavilion, there is exhibited
by Miss. Mary S. Riley, wife of Mr.. ? fred
A Riley, of Louisville, Kentucky, proSa.
bly, the most wonderful niece Of needle
work ever done in the wor d. 1t is claimd
that they equal the Gobel' he in the Main
Hall. The work exhibited consists Of
eight pictures, one Of them portrait o.
James Bridgeford, Of Louis sil'e, Ken
lucky. The others are of Que n ' ctoria,
Prince Albert, the Prince and Princess
of Wales, and Princess Royal of England,
now Crown Princess of Germany, and the
Battle of Ian. side or the Death of Doug
lass in the defense. of Mary Queen of
Sc otts; the latter being the most elab-
crate and representing Douglass in fill
armor on the field, bis horse near and his
knights about him. The Qneen is ps--
tally bent over him and the priest holds
a cross to Douglass face. An oak tree
cove""s the whole group, and the bleeding
OF colors and shading of the faces and
garments OF the personages is simply in
descl liable.
Part OF the work upon the portraits eY
hiblted has been done in Europe and
part in this country. The portraits are
probably more remarkable than the more
ambitious OF the pictures, rs they are
STITCHED WITH SILK,
black and white so beautifully and ar.
tistica y blended, that they cannot when
in the frame, mounted, be told without
the closest scrutiny from line st eel en-
craving or etching.
1t is assured'y v the perfection Of art and
the triumph Of patience and skill. There
| are portraitsiof Hon. w. L. Glad ton,
and John Bright. the latter unfinished
and intend led. to show, and it proves be
yond doubtIthat the { 'awing has beer
| done
ENTIRELY WITH The NEEDLE.
The Queen, Prince Albert, and Primo,
and Princess Of Wales are in colors, anc
are equal to the celebrated Gobelin abov,
a uded to in brilliancy and delicacy o.
shading. The Gladstone, Bright ant
Bridgeford portraits are to initiate On
s avings, and are said to be superior +,
the Gobelln, being col rect likeuesse3 ant
finer work, and it is well-pigh impossibl,
to te without q microscopic glass tina
they draw " .th needle. Tn, portrait
are in white silk, done with q needle
with silk which is taken from the cocoon
o.. che silk wsrm, that alone furnishing
fibre that Is sufficiently fine.
A popularity Of tt s kind Of work, out
side Of its great beauty and flush, is tha
it differs from the work of the painter O
sculptor, who, if he makes mistake, cal
remedy it with brush or cr;sel, but
misstitch in these portraits. and tn
work is ruined. There is no sketchinq
4 awing, or marking; the 'iteness mus
be done with the ne, ]'e alone, suide'
by the eye Of the true artist, and handle
by delicate fingers. The work is YER
tedious, and of course can only be don
a little at a tiue. The personal guar
antee is given that it is done with tn
needle, as the reporter of the Telegrap
examined the reverse side of one of til
mounted in frame, and there is n
doubt about it.
