介绍（中）	像这样的"柏林工作"照片在十九世纪中叶成为针线活热潮。柏林的工作不是真正的女学生刺绣，几乎不需要什么技巧，所有年龄段的休闲女士都在练习。它被设计为仅使用一种针迹缝制，通常是帐篷针迹或十字针，在帆布网上。商业生产的图案是在网格纸上以彩色绘制的。购买图案后，将其复制到网格上，网格中的每个正方形等于一针。柏林作品的设计得名于用于缝制它的德国精纺羊毛，通常是历史或圣经中的大型精致场景。随着机械化的兴起，年轻女子为家人制作衣服和亚麻布的能力变得越来越不重要，柏林工作图片等项目填补了时间，尽管它们并不鼓励创造力或教授高级缝纫技能。
介绍（英）	"Berlin work" pictures, such as this one, became a needlework craze during the mid-nineteenth century. Not truly schoolgirl embroidery, Berlin work took little skill and was practiced by leisured ladies of all ages. It was designed to be sewn using only one type of stitch, usually tent stitch or cross stitch, on canvas mesh. The commercially produced patterns were drawn in color on grided paper. After the pattern was purchased, it was copied onto the mesh, with each square in the grid equaling one stitch. The designs for Berlin work, which got its name from the German worsted wool used to stitch it, were often large elaborate scenes from history or the Bible. As a young woman's ability to make clothes and linens for her family became less and less important with the rise of mechanization, projects such as Berlin work pictures filled time, although they did not encourage creativity or teach advanced sewing skills.
