She was an accomplished needlewoman in an era when needlework was held in high esteem. Cyril Davenport particularly notes the canvas covers as evidence that these embroideries were worked in Elizabeth's own hand. "Canvas bindings were rare - most of the embroidered work on books of that period were splendid works on velvet...instead of very elementary braid work." Canvas is easier to embroider than velvet and there could have been little other reason to use a cheap material for a royal gift, except to facilitate a child's handiwork.

90 (550) Aug 1861 Page 211:'"The Shrew Tamed" – a high-bred horse of soft silken coat, dappled with play of light and shade as on velvet, subdued by a "pretty horsebreaker", is certainly unfortunate as a subject. This picture has been made the more notorious by "The Belgravian Lament", which took the well-known rider as a text whereon to point a moral. We hope it will now be felt by Sir Edwin Landseer and his friends that the intrusion of "pretty horsebreakers" on the walls of the Academy is not less to be regretted than their presence in Rotten Row.' The picture gained the alternative title of The Pretty Horsebreaker.
