A translated study by Madame L. Paulis, Curator of Laces at the Musées Royaux d'Art et d'Histoire in Brussels, on the history and identification of Flemish needlepoint lace. She starts from the 'ponti fiamenghi' in the Italian pattern books of Vecellio (1617) and Lucretia Romana (1620). She then follows Flemish needle lace through the influence of French Points de France, the bobbin-made 'drochel' ground of Brussels, and the later point de gaze ground. She argues that some pieces classed as Italian or French, such as Point de Sedan, flat point and Point de Venise à réseau, may be Flemish. Illustrated with pattern-book pages and plates of lace in the Musée du Cinquantenaire.
