An encyclopedia article on lace from the Universal Cyclopaedia and Atlas (1902). It traces lace from its origins in netting and embroidery through the two main classes, needle-made point lace and bobbin-made pillow lace. It covers European centers such as Venice, Alençon, Brussels, Honiton, Valenciennes, and Chantilly, along with the rise of machine-made net and bobbinet at Nottingham. Five small figures show magnified stitches and the plaited and twisted grounds and woven gimp of pillow lace.
