A collector's guide to antique lace and English needlework by Mrs. Lowes, in the "Books for Collectors" series. The first part traces the history and making of lace (needlepoint and pillow), surveys the laces of Italy, France, Flanders, England, Scotland and Ireland, and gives advice on identifying lace and on sale-room prices. The second part covers English embroidery from Opus Anglicum and ecclesiastical vestments through Tudor and Stuart work (stumpwork, black work, caskets, mirrors, book covers, pictures), samplers, William and Mary and eighteenth-century pictorial needlework, and embroidery in costume. It is illustrated with many plates of lace and embroideries and ends with a conclusion and index.
