A 1922 magazine article by collector Edgar L. Ashley on Spanish blonde lace, the silk bobbin lace used for mantillas and scarves. It traces the history of blonde and the mantilla from the sixteenth century through the nineteenth, describes the three types of mantilla worn in Spain, and comments on imported thread laces and gold and silver lace. Eight photographs from the author's collection show bobbin blonde pieces, darned net scarves, and a modern Alhambra-inspired embroidered net.
