Second part of an article by Raymond Cox in Les Arts on the lace collection of M. Alfred Lescure, illustrated with numbered plates (Nos. 38-78) of Venetian, Alençon, Argentan, Sedan, Brussels (point d'Angleterre), Mechlin, Valenciennes and Binche lace, plus a few silk embroideries. The text traces the history and technical distinctions of needle lace and bobbin lace, covering grounds and motifs, royal manufactories under Colbert, the Brussels/point d'Angleterre naming, and regional centres in France, Flanders, Italy, Spain and elsewhere. Captions give the type, technique, origin and period of each piece.
