This lithograph displays machine-made embroidery from the 1876 and 1878 World's Fairs. The Libraries has many wonderful items from World's fairs in its collections. Many other wonderful images can be viewed in our online bibliography, Revisiting the World's Fairs and International Expositions. Enjoy!

Wow，great content and your blog template is so beautiful. Is this template free or not. If so, would you please share this template? if not, how much does it cost? Thanks a lot!
I am interested in the history of National Embroidery Month and how and when it was designated as such. We’re planning events with my Embroiderers’ Guild of America chapter and are trying to find more on the history for an article. Thanks!
