A 1921 article by Margaret Taylor Johnstone describing the lace collection of the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris after its rearrangement. She surveys early Italian linenwork and needlepoint, Venetian points, and the Points de France, Argentan and Alençon, with notes on Flemish rabats. She also discusses the Colbert monopoly, the dispersal of lace-workers after 1685 and 1789, and the difficulty of attributing and authenticating Point de France. Illustrated with photographs of an Italian altar cloth, a Point de France flounce and a Venetian cut parchment pattern.
