A short 1921 article on eighteenth-century lace cap-crowns and lappets, prompted by an exhibition in the Lace Gallery of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It draws on de Garsault's 1771 "L'Art de la Lingère" for a trousseau list of caps, fichus and head-dresses and for instructions on making and mounting a lace cap on a quilted foundation. Illustrated with photographs of Mechlin bobbin and Alençon needle lace cap-crowns and a page of pattern diagrams from de Garsault.
