A 1907 economic study of the Austrian domestic bobbin-lace industry, based on field research in 1906 in the Bohemian Erzgebirge, the Bohemian Forest, northeastern Bohemia and Carniola. It covers the geographic spread and history of lacemaking, how production and sales are organized, criticism of the dealer system, the international lace trade and machine-lace competition, and wages, family incomes and child labor. The later chapters examine the state lace schools, the Central Lace Course in Vienna, the dealers' response and its survey (Enquete), with reform proposals. Many wage tables by locality are included; there are no weaving drafts.
