A 1904 commercial guide to lace by Samuel L. Goldenberg, written for those who deal in lace rather than for antiquarians. It covers the origins of needle-point and pillow (bobbin) lace, the development of lace and embroidery machines (Nottingham, Leavers, Calais, Plauen, Schiffli), and an alphabetical glossary describing the characteristics of lace types such as Alençon, Brussels, Honiton, Mechlin, Torchon, Valenciennes and Venetian point. About two dozen photographic plates show real and imitation laces, plus images of a Leavers lace machine and a Schiffli embroidery machine.
