A plate album of about 80 numbered plates reproducing European lace designs of the 16th and 17th centuries, from 1534 to about 1633, part of Rouveyre's series on discerning styles through images. Plates are arranged chronologically and show borders, squares, cuffs, collars, ruffs, albs and handkerchief corners from German, French and Italian sources. An alphabetical index of the documents and a division by provenance and period precede the plates, and the last plates are engraved portraits of royalty and nobles wearing lace collars. There is almost no running text beyond the index, notes and portrait inscriptions.
