A German-language handbook for collectors and enthusiasts on antique needle lace and bobbin lace by Marie Schuette, second revised edition of 1921 with 172 illustrations. Part I covers lace technique: the origins of lace in fabric edge finishing, filet, drawn work and cutwork, needle lace types, and bobbin lace construction (braids, grounds, Blonde, Valenciennes). Part II is a history of lace by country (Italy, France, the Netherlands and Brussels, Spain, Germany, England), followed by a glossary of technical terms, a bibliography and an index. Illustrations are mostly photographs of museum pieces (Leipzig Kunstgewerbemuseum and others) plus some line drawings of techniques and grounds.
