figures depicted on this original design were derived from
wood block engravings of the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries.
The format of the hornbook follows actual examples from the
late 18th century. Hornbooks functioned as primers, used to
teach young children their letters. Defined, very basically,
by Dr. Johnson, hornbooks were "...the first book of
children, covered with horn to keep it unsoiled." Executed
entirely in tent, or cross stitch, the piece can be stitched
over one or two threads of linen. The kit is supplied with
enough material to finish it in tent stitch over one thread
of linen. |
