Encyclopedia article on lace from Meyers Konversations-Lexikon (5th ed.), with two plates of lace samples. It defines lace and distinguishes guipure from ground (réseau) lace, and needle lace from bobbin lace. It describes the bobbin lace pillow, pricked pattern and bobbins, machine lace and Jacquard-equipped bobbin machines, and gives a history by region (Italy, France, Belgium, the Erzgebirge, England). It closes with a bibliography of lace histories and pattern books.
