A scanned study scrapbook of 87 lace swatches pinned to pages, compiled by Marian Powys and donated in 1966, arranged to tell the story of lace from the 16th to the 20th century. Each page shows a photographed specimen with a typed caption giving country, type (needlepoint, pillow/bobbin, drawnwork, appliqué), period, and notes on grounds and fillings. Covered are Belgian, French, English, Flemish, Dutch, Irish, Italian, Russian, Spanish, Maltese and Chinese laces, plus tatting. The opening pages give the museum accession record and an index of the specimens.
