A review of the 1919 summer loan exhibit of lace at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, written for the Needle and Bobbin Club's Bulletin. The exhibit showed about 112 seventeenth- and eighteenth-century pieces, mostly lent by Club members. The article discusses ecclesiastical pieces such as chalice and benediction veils, figural lace (rose point, point d'Angleterre), lappets, and needlepoint flounces. Most pages are halftone photographs of individual pieces with collector credits.
