A short article on the revival of Tønder lace, the fine bobbin lace of southern Jutland, Denmark. It traces the craft's history from the time of Christian IV, its peak in the mid-19th century and its decline under German rule after 1864. It then describes the early 20th-century effort led by Mme. Hansigne Ioventzen to gather old lace-makers and patterns after Tønder returned to Denmark in 1919. It includes a photograph of a strip of Tønder lace from the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
