Article by June Burns Bové describing the two lace sample albums compiled by Marian Powys, author of Lace and Lace-Making: one at the Palisades Free Library (New York) and one at the Newark Museum (New Jersey). It covers their history, format, condition, conservation problems and how to consult them. The bulk is a photographic catalog of 31 samples with Powys's captions and the author's comments, covering Italian, Spanish, French, Flemish, English, Irish and Russian needle and bobbin laces, drawn work and macrame.
