This combined 1930 issue of the Bulletin of the Needle and Bobbin Club is devoted mainly to the 1660s struggle in France over sumptuary laws on lace and passementerie. It reprints in French the satirical 1661 poem La Révolte des Passements (Paris, Charles Sercy), in which laces, points, and embroideries rebel against the edict of 1660. It also gives the 1660 declaration against luxury in dress and the 1665 royal proclamation establishing the Points de France manufacture, all annotated by Miss Whiting with English footnotes. Plates show 17th-century laces from the Metropolitan Museum of Art and period engravings and portraits. The issue ends with Club Notes on lectures and meetings, Book Notes, and a list of officers.
