Selected sections from Weldons Encyclopedia of Needlework, including the title page, contents, foreword, Book VI on lace (an illustrated supplement), and several index pages. The lace section is mostly photographic plates from the Victoria and Albert Museum showing needlepoint laces (Venetian rose-point, Point d'Alençon, Point d'Argentan, Point de France, Carrickmacross, Limerick), bobbin or pillow laces (Valenciennes, Buckinghamshire, Mechlin, Brussels, Honiton, Flemish), mixed laces, and darned netting. Short introductory texts explain how needlepoint and bobbin lace are made. The contents page lists the whole encyclopedia, which covers embroidery, sewing, knitting, crochet, tatting, soft furnishings, rugmaking and lacemaking.
