Article by Marian Hague describing three previously unpublished pieces recently added to Richard C. Greenleaf's lace collection: a mid-17th-century Venetian needlepoint man's collar, a Flemish or Italian bobbin lace collar with gold thread, and a Brussels bobbin lace flounce with nymphs and cherubs in the design. It compares them with pieces in the Victoria and Albert, Cluny and other museums and discusses men's use of lace. It ends with a list of other Greenleaf pieces already illustrated in standard lace publications. Illustrated with a frontispiece and three plates.
