    I remember this needlepoint hanging in my parents house when I was a child. It has been hanging in mine for the past 20 years. I don't know anything about it except that it is old and it is needlepoint covered by glass. I tried to get a better picture, but I kept on getting the reflection of the glass. So, this is the best I can do. I am interested in finding out its age and origin however. If anyone has any ideas, please feel free to let me know. Thanks again! I really do not have any idea as where to categorize it.

      Here is something on A. A. Munson's & Sons of New Haven, Conn.
      Click on link below, after it opens, on left under Decorative Arts (in blue), go to the bottom of that section and click on A. A. Munson (in blue).

      I thought I was missing something pw-collector!! Thank you so much for that information/article. So they restored pictures/artwork - that's interesting. I actually grew up in New Haven county. I wonder how old that needlepoint is??? It's really cool! Thanks for sharing... and thanks for your love :)

      Thanks again for the information pw-collector. I actually emailed the company and asked them if they had any records of their work. They were kind enough to email me back. They said that they didn't keep the old records. It was worth a try!! Thanks again!
