A 1906 magazine article on the first national Concours of the Comité de la Dentelle de France, a French association formed to develop new Art Nouveau-style lace designs. It describes the exhibition of 350 designs by 110 exhibitors, the jury, the prizewinners (including Berthe Hennecart's first-prize tea cloth corner) and the nature-inspired motifs, and it is illustrated with photographs of prize-winning lace pieces such as flounces, a collar, a tea cloth border and a handkerchief.
