A short 1917 article distinguishing hand-made "German Val" from true French or Belgian Valenciennes lace, and describing "Val de Dieppe." It explains the differences in ground (four-thread braided versus two-thread twisted), the "roue" outline, and the terminology of "real," "true," "imitation" and machine copies. It describes three sample edges (Bohemian, Swiss, Italian) shown in an illustration, and the three-thread tulle ground of Dieppe Val.
