It was the only gift she made them. Her name is on every one of them; almost nothing else about her has survived.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThis book shows twelve of her stencils twice: as the objects they are, and as the cloth each would have printed, rebuilt from its own openings.

Museums keep and show the tool; the cloth it printed is long gone. \u003cstrong\u003eThis book shows both.\u003c\/strong\u003e On one page, the stencil as it is kept today, with the museum’s record. On the facing page, the cloth it would have made, rebuilt from the stencil’s own openings. The cloth is a digital reconstruction made from the stencil itself, not a historical textile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eWhere the museum’s measurements allow it, details are shown at actual size.
