An illustrated article from The Connoisseur on the lace seen in the portraits of Sir Anthony Vandyke and worn in the seventeenth century. It discusses Genoese guipure and tape lace, flax thread and bobbin laces (a piombini), gold and silver laces, falling collars, Medici collars and ruffs, and the sumptuary laws that favored flax thread. Halftone plates of Vandyke portraits (Henrietta Maria, Helena Forman, Ernest of Mansfeld, Sir Thomas Chaloner, the Children of Charles I) show lace collars and cuffs, and one plate shows a specimen of Italian bobbin lace with a Vandyke edge.
