In a copy of THE BOOK OF COMMON PRAYER London 1806. Mrs. Piozzi acknowledges receipt (1811): "Given by Dear Lady Kirkwall & made by her own Hand". The made by her own hand most likely refers to the attractive binding, an inlay (marquetry) using what does appear to be pieces of straw. Is there a reference to, or a study of this kind of ?straw- work? Many thanks
