A short Swedish-language history of lace by Elisabeth Thorman, published in Stockholm in 1913 and based largely on Moriz Dreger's Entwicklungsgeschichte der Spitze. It follows lace from its prehistory through Renaissance (reticella, early bobbin lace), Baroque (Venetian, Flemish, French point), 18th-century and rococo ground laces, the decline of lace and modern revival. It ends with chapters on Danish (Tønder), Norwegian and Finnish lace and on Swedish lace, including Vadstena lace and the folk laces of Dalarna, Blekinge and Skåne. It is illustrated with many photographic plates of lace and portraits showing lace, and has a bibliography.
