A short dictionary entry on lace from Knight's American Mechanical Dictionary. It outlines the origins and early history of lace, the bobbin-lace method attributed to Barbara Huttman, and the pin-frame machine. It also gives the 1851 English exhibition classification of laces and a chronology of lace-making inventions from 1561 to 1829. One small figure labeled 'Lace-Weaving' is a decorative rule ornament only.
