With Needle and Brush: Schoolgirl Embroidery from the Connecticut River Valley, 1740-1840
“The Hubers have brought together an exquisite collection of schoolgirl embroideries and watercolors, enhancing our understanding of early female education and regional artistic style. Their introduction and gloriously illustrated catalogue provides significant historic, stylistic, and family context. Susan Schoelwer’s insightful essay on the Patten School in Hartford reveals its family background, duration, and wide influence.” (Gloria Seaman Allen, author of A Maryland Sampling: Girlhood Embroidery 1738–1860)
