Java Canvas Work
Java canvas work was a popular form of embroidery in the late nineteenth century, named after its ground material (Java canvas, aida). It was used for mats, music cases, work cases, and any article that requires a pliable, yet moderately stiff foundation (including slippers!). The embroidery was worked with wool, silk or filoselle silk threads.
