A German-language self-instruction manual for bobbin lace making by Sara Rasmussen, published in Copenhagen in 1884. It opens with a short history of lace making in Germany and Denmark (Barbara Uttmann, Huguenot refugees, Tondern lace), then describes equipment such as pillows, bobbins, winding machine and prickings. Step-by-step pin-by-pin instructions follow for basic stitches (half stitch, linen stitch, net ground, Löcherschlag, fond de la vierge, Musche) and for graded sample laces, edgings and insertions, with Torchon, Guipure, Brussels and Duchesse laces discussed. The book is illustrated with numbered woodcut figures, pricking diagrams, and phototype and lithographic plates of finished laces.
