A 1908 illustrated book on antique lace by Mrs. John Hungerford Pollen, with a preface by Alan Cole. It reproduces specimens from her own collection in about 120 full-page photographic plates, many at actual size or showing enlarged stitches. The text includes an introduction, a glossary of lace terms, and sections on needle-point lace (lacis, tela tirata, reticello, punto in aria, rose-point, Alençon, Argentan) and bobbin-made lace (Genoese, Flemish, Brussels, Valenciennes, Honiton and others). Plate captions give dimensions, country and date for each piece, from Italian 14th-century drawn work to 18th-century French, Flemish, Spanish and English lace.
