"This treasury surveys nearly three hundred years of quilt history, techniques, patterns, and styles. Traveling all over the country to conduct research and to collect quilts, the authors have assembled a richly illustrated study of traditional quilts." "From the simple, serviceable quilts of the early colonists to the work of twentieth century quilters, this volume surveys virtually every type of quilt and pattern, detailing the techniques, tools, fabrics, and dyes. The abundant historical and practical information offers guidelines for establishing the age of antique quilts and provides careful instructions for cleaning and care of heirloom quilts."--BOOK JACKET.
Taste for clocks and other mechanical curiosities of the West seems to have invaded the court of China at an early date ; already at the beginning of the fourteenth century a French ironsmith, Guillaume Boucher, probably a prisoner brought back from some Mongol raid into Hungary, had constructed for the first Yuan Emperor of China an elaborate clock with fountains ; and when, in 1599, the great Jesuit missionary Matteo Ricci arrived in Peking he secured Imperial favour and an entry to the Court largely by a gift of clocks. It was, however, only at the end of the seventeenth century, in the reign of K'ang Hsi, that clocks in great numbers began to invade the Palace. This enlightened monarch, who was filled with an admiration, rare in his dynasty, for the arts and sciences of Europe, welcomed learned Jesuit mathematicians and philosophers to his Court, and formed a collection of scientific instruments and time-pieces of all descriptions. -- Introduction.
