Third edition of the South Kensington Museum's descriptive catalogue of its lace collection, published in 1881. It opens with a historical introduction on the origins and development of needlepoint and pillow lace, with notes on lace-making by country. The catalogue proper lists specimens by country (Italian, Belgian, Dutch, French, Spanish and Portuguese, English and Irish, German, Danish, Swedish, Russian, Maltese, Cretan and others), giving type, dimensions, date, acquisition and museum number. It also includes a list of books on lace, a table of reference and a general index, with about 20 plates of lace specimens and line drawings of lace stitches.
