A 1904 International Studio article by A. S. Levetus surveying the lace and whitework embroidery of peasant women in the Austrian Crown Lands (Dalmatia, Bohemia, Moravia, Wallachia, Slavonia, Tyrol, Ruthenia). It describes head-dresses, hoods, collars, churching shawls, bed curtains and sleeves, along with their motifs (heart, apple, rose, clover-leaf, cock) and their drawn-thread and cord-stitch techniques. Fifteen photographed examples, ranging from the 16th century to modern lace-school work, accompany the text.
