A three-page review from The Connoisseur of N. Hudson-Moore's book The Lace Book (Chapman and Hall). It summarizes the author's views on the Italian versus Flemish origins of lace, his division of lace styles into periods, and his accounts of Points de France, Alençon, Argentan, Venetian, and English and Spanish bobbin laces. It also reports auction prices, such as those from the 1902 Sir William Drake sale, and is illustrated with photographs of seventeenth-century needle-lace specimens.
