The Two Volume one is not exactly a different edition. I'd say it is the full version and the Pictorial History is the Readers Digest version. It's not only huge, but it probably has 4 times the number of items. I think our Library got its copy as a gift in about 1927. Several of the pieces don't exist any longer thanks to WWII.
Gestickte Bildteppiche und Decken des Mittelalters Schuette, Marie, 1878-1960. Leipzig, K. W. Hiersemann, 1927-v. double plates (part col.) 51 cm. R- 746.3 S38 I don't remember the text being in German. I was too busy holding my sleeve under my chin as I drooled! I tried to scan my smaller volume in, but the definition just sucked even at high resolution. Very important when you are looking at embroidery. For some reason the Christie seemed to come out clearer. I may still try the digital camera method just for grins and giggles.
