[HNW] question about Erica Wilson book(s)

[S CLEMENGER]

I just looked through my copy of Crewel Embroidery (originally copyrighted in 1962, but published, I *think* in 1973, given the inscription inside), and couldn't find anything resembling those embroidered miniatures in her Embroidery Book.  There were a few color photos, but mostly of embroidered furniture and a couple of pieces of clothing.  Lots of b/w.
Her book "Needlework to Wear" has a *lot* more color photos, but again, nothing of those little girls.
I like those miniatures in the E.B.  Thought it was a very clever device to show off the different styles of needlework!
Dang, now I've got myself an embroidery jones.....la, la, la, I'm not listening...I've got yarn to spin.....

  In the Erica Wilson Embroidery Book, she opens each chapter with an  
  image of an Elizabethan child (based on the miniatures by Oliver).   
  Unfortunately in *that* book, they're all in black and white.  The  
  Goldwork and Stumpwork book has the color pictures from those 2  
  chapters.  I'guessing that the Blackwork/whitework book has those two  
  figures "in color" (ok, "in glossy").

  Does the Crewel Embroidery book have color copies of the Crewel and  
  the Needlepoint pictures?

  Thanks,
  Susan
