An illustrated article by Marian Powys on animal and bird motifs in historic lace, from 16th-century lacis and drawn work to 18th-century needle and pillow laces. It surveys examples such as Vecellio's pattern book, Spanish filet, Italian buratto, Point de Venise à Rose, Milanese and Flemish flounces, Point d'Alençon and Sicilian knitted lace. Twelve plates with captions give the type, origin, date and collection of each piece, and the text ends with First World War lace designs.
