Second of two notices by Eva Lovett on the lace collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, as displayed in 1906. It briefly traces the origin of needle and bobbin lace, then surveys the exhibited pieces: Venetian Rose Point, Flemish flounces, Brussels, Italian guipures, Point de France, Honiton, Alençon, Chantilly, Spanish and Limerick laces, plus Napoleonic pieces and curiosities. It closes with a framed demonstration of the division of labor in lace-making and a note on how the collection was acquired through gifts and loans. Illustrated with photographs of rose point, a cape, a Honiton collar, and several shawls.
