Concluding part of M. Jourdain's series on the lace collection of Mr. Arthur Blackborne, devoted to Milanese laces. It begins with a short history of Milanese passements and pillow lace, covering the flat toilé, réseau grounds and the hunting and heraldic designs. It then gives a numbered catalogue (Nos. 48-60) of specimens with dimensions and motif descriptions, including boar-hunt and animal scroll designs, armorial lace, braid lace, point de Milan and church laces. Four plates of halftone photographs illustrate the pieces.
