A French-language history and technical survey of lace by Joseph Seguin, published in Paris by J. Rothschild. It covers the origins of lace, bobbin lace (passements aux fuseaux, Valenciennes, Malines, black silk lace, gold and silver lace, guipures, Cluny), and needle lace (point coupé, Venise, France, Alençon, Brussels). It also treats sumptuary edicts, a bibliography of early pattern books (Vinciolo, Le Pompe, Siebmacher, Parasole), and the lace-producing regions and trade of Belgium, England, Italy, France, Spain, Portugal, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Scandinavia and Russia. It is illustrated with engravings after 16th and 17th century sources and about fifty photographic plates of lace specimens, and ends with tables of contents, figures, plates and an analytical index.
