A 1911 article by A. S. Levetus on the revival of lace-making in Hungary, which began in 1906 through the efforts of Archduchess Isabella and Countess Ilona Batthyany. It covers the history of Hungarian embroidery, bobbin, drawn-thread and filet lace, and the introduction of needle-point lace (Halászer) by Prof. Arpád Dekáni. It also describes the organization of the Royal Lace Schools in Budapest, teacher training and provincial lace centers. Illustrated with halftones of needle-point and pillow lace by Dekáni, Örkény and Szendröi, and Gizella Mirkovszky, plus a soutache-embroidered cushion.
