A 1900s Metropolitan Museum of Art Bulletin article surveying the museum's lace collection, its history of gifts (McCallum, Astor and others), and its notable pieces. It discusses lacis, cutwork, reticella, punto in aria, Venetian flat, rose and gros points, tape and bobbin laces, and Flemish, Binche and Alençon examples, and traces how pattern books and ruff fashions shaped lace. Seven figures illustrate selected pieces, and footnotes cite Palliser, Errera and other sources.
