A French-language connoisseur's guide by Emile Bayard (Paris, 1914) to identifying and distinguishing laces, illustrated with 197 engravings and photographs. It opens with a history of lace, then surveys French and foreign needle laces (Alençon, Argentan, Sedan, Venice, Burano, Point d'Angleterre), guipures, and bobbin laces (Chantilly, Valenciennes, Malines, Bruges, Blonde and others). Later chapters cover tulles and machine imitations, macramé, filet, embroidered and braid laces, embroidery, and recipes for tinting, pinning and cleaning lace, ending with a glossary-index of terms and a table of illustrations.
