Craft Crafts Embroidery Needle Point Petit Point Unusual 1935

EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite portrait of Her Majesty Queen Mary, the consort of King George V, was meticulously crafted in the intricate technique of petit point embroidery, especially for the Silver Jubilee issue of The Queen magazine in 1935. Queen Mary, who was the royal patron of the Disabled Soldiers Embroidery Industry, graciously posed for this unique and unusual tribute. The portrait, showcasing her regal elegance and refined beauty, was a testament to the skill and dedication of the disabled soldiers who created it. Petit point embroidery, a traditional needlepoint technique, involves working with very small stitches on a fine mesh fabric, resulting in intricate and detailed designs. The artisans of the Disabled Soldiers Embroidery Industry, who had been injured during the First World War, found solace and purpose in this craft. The portrait was a centerpiece of the Silver Jubilee issue of The Queen magazine, and Queen readers were given the opportunity to recreate this panel at home, as instructions for working the design were provided on another page. The portrait not only celebrated the beauty and grace of Queen Mary but also highlighted the therapeutic and rehabilitative power of crafts and embroidery for disabled soldiers. This photograph, taken during the creation of the portrait, captures the essence of a regal moment in history, showcasing the artistry and dedication of the Disabled Soldiers Embroidery Industry and the enduring bond between the monarchy and its people.
