A short historical essay on hand-made lace, distinguishing true laces from embroideries on net, cut work, drawn thread work and machine imitations. It separates needlepoint lace from bobbin or pillow lace, and traces the development of patterns from the sixteenth-century geometric bands to the filmy, naturalistic laces of the eighteenth century, then their decline. It ends with a brief note on where the industry survived in the early 1900s and on the competition from machine-made lace.
