Part 1 of an article by Raymond Cox, director of the Musée historique des Tissus de Lyon, on the lace collection of M. Alfred Lescure, shown at the Hôtel des Modes. The text discusses the difficulty of identifying and naming old lace, the shift from cut-work, drawn-thread work and filet embroidery on a linen or net ground to true needle lace (point en l'air) in late 15th-century Venice. It is illustrated with 37 numbered plates of mostly 16th to 18th century Italian, French and Flemish needle and bobbin lace, embroidered linen, tulle embroidery, lace collars and albs.
