Andrea Pappas Awarded Book Prize

The Historians of British Art has awarded the prize for a single-authored book with a subject between 1600–1800 goes to Andrea Pappas, Embroidering the Landscape: Women, Art and the Environment in British North America, 1740–1770, published by Lund Humphries. The award committee noted " Written with lucid, critical acuity, Embroidering the Landscape troubles received views in which embroidered landscapes embody “naïve” visions. Instead the book.... places needleworks and their makers in an Atlantic world of imperial inequality, land spoliation, and colonialism’s devastating ecological consequences." This is the econd scholarly honor bestowed on Pappas' ground-breaking study of women's art.
