Third edition (1881) of the catalogue of the lace collection at the South Kensington Museum, begun by Mrs. Bury Palliser and revised and enlarged by Alan S. Cole. A long introduction surveys the history, techniques, terminology and regional centres of lace-making, followed by country-by-country catalogue entries (Italian, Belgian, Flemish, Dutch, French, Spanish, English and Irish, German, Danish, Swedish, Russian, Cretan, Maltese and others). Each entry gives the object type, technique, origin, date, dimensions, source and register number. The book also has a list of books on lace, a list of lace photographs, a table of reference from register numbers to pages, a general index and about 20 photographic plates.
