A 1925 article from the Bulletin of the Needle and Bobbin Club on the history of cut paper and cut parchment work. It traces the craft from religious pictures and lace and embroidery designs through pin-pricked lace patterns and pictures, to eighteenth-century French and Italian cut work and the mechanical paper lace of the Victorian valentine. It is illustrated with eleven figures and a frontispiece, including cut parchment designs, a lace pricking with Binche lace, pierced paper fans, a pricked paper picture of a lady with a harp, a paper handkerchief, and a paper lace border page, drawn from museum and private collections.
