It is from a pattern book for embroidery (about 1742) by Margaretha Helm (neé Mainberger) (born in 1659 in Deiningen, died in 1742 in Nuremberg, Germany). The information in the preface of the pattern book for this design explains that it is for window and armchair sewing, in long and short stitch, or shading stitch, or satin stitch encroaching on taffeta or satin or for whatever one wants to use them. The reference to 'window and armchair sewing' may indicate that the embroidery is for upholstery. Long and short stitch may be worked in any direction and it is most commonly used in embroidery.  Satin stitch encroaching is used for shading areas. It is a technique that consists of long and short stitches that are worked into the stitches in the previous rows thus giving the effect of blending tones of colour.  \r\n\r\nHelm worked in Nuremberg as an embroiderer, embroidery teacher, and copper-plate engraver who had her designs re-published by Christoph Weigel the Younger (1702-1777). The V&A has a series of pattern books for embroidery in three parts by Margaretha Helm of which this volume is Part II.  It is entitled <i> Fortgesetzter Kunst- und Fleiss-übender Nadel- auch Laden-Gewirck-    Ergötzungen oder des neu-erfundenen Neh und Stick Buchs Anderer Theil</i> or <i>Further Delights of the Art and Industry of the practising Needle and Loom; or the newly invented Sewing and Embroidery Book Another part</i>.","physicalDescription":"Design for a fruit dish on a table.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Helm, Margaretha","id":"A25444"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28674"},"note":""},{"name":{"text":"Weigel, Christoph the Younger","id":"A28733"},"association":{"text":"published","id":"x28702"},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"ink","id":"AAT15012"},{"text":"laid paper","id":"AAT14184"}],"techniques":[{"text":"etching (printing process)","id":"AAT53241"},{"text":"copper engraving","id":"AAT190531"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Engraving and etching on laid paper.","categories":[{"text":"Designs","id":"THES48968"},{"text":"Embroidery","id":"THES48960"},{"text":"Fashion","id":"THES48957"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"PDP","id":"THES48595"},"images":["2010EF1312"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"LVLD","id":"THES49658"},"free":"","case":"92","shelf":"C","box":"3A"}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"print","id":""}],[{"text":"drawing","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"Nuremberg","id":"x29057"},"association":{"text":"published","id":"x30682"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"ca. 1742","earliest":"1737-01-01","latest":"1746-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Height","value":"39","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"Size of plate not exact due to backing paper and tears along bottom","note":""},{"dimension":"Width","value":"30.5","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"Size of plate at widest point","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"","marksAndInscriptions":[{"content":"'44'","inscriber":{"name":{"text":"","id":""},"association":{"text":"","id":""}},"date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"description":"","interpretation":"","language":"","medium":"","method":"","position":"","script":"","translation":"","transliteration":"","type":"","note":"Plate number in ink at bottom right."}],"objectHistory":"","historicalContext":"","briefDescription":"Design probably for embroidered upholstery, about 1742 by Margaretha Helm (1659-1742)","bibliographicReferences":[{"reference":{"text":"","id":""},"details":"","free":"Ludwig, H. <u> Nürnberger naturgeschichtliche Maleria im 17. und 18.
