A collection of scanned vintage picture postcards showing lace and lacemakers, mostly early 20th century. Cards depict women working bobbin lace on pillows in Normandy, Bruges, Le Puy, Craponne, Malta, Honiton/Bedfordshire, Ceylon and Spain, along with needle-lace samples (Point d'Argentan, Point d'Alençon), a bridal veil, mantillas, a handkerchief, a parasol and fans. Captions are mostly French, with some Flemish, English, German and Spanish, and a few cards carry handwritten messages. One card shows the Native Lace Works factory in Hightstown, New Jersey.
