Excerpt from the 1900 book L'Art à l'Exposition Universelle de 1900, consisting of the title page and the 'Dentelles' (lace) section of the chapter on art textiles. The French text reviews the lace shown at the Paris Exposition, covering needle lace (Alençon), bobbin lace, the decline of quality, machine imitations, and the modern lace of the Vienna School of Decorative Arts. Illustrations show a lace collar, a bobbin lace edging, and a lace fan made by Mathilde Hedlicka and Franziska Hofmanninger after designs by Johann Herdlicka.
