A French-language handbook on lace by Marguerite de Brieuvres, published by Garnier Frères in Paris, with models and drawings by Mme M. Songy. It opens with a concise history of lace across the ages and countries (Venice, France, Flanders and elsewhere). The practical chapters then give step-by-step instructions, with numbered line figures, for needle lace (Renaissance lace, old Venice, Colbert point, Alençon-style ground, stitches on tulle), bobbin lace, tatting (frivolité), macramé, Tenerife lace and modern Point de France. It ends with advice on the care and preservation of lace.
