An illustrated article by M. Jourdain on the history and technique of Brussels lace, drawing on Mrs. Calderwood, Mrs. Palliser and Peuchet. It covers the division of labour among lace workers, the pillow-made and needle-made réseau grounds, the fine flax thread, the toilé, and the bride versus réseau grounds. It also traces design influences (French court, Chinese style, later Louis XVI and 19th-century styles) and the Point d'Angleterre name. Plates show 18th-century pillow-made Brussels lace in museum and private collections.
