A pocket-edition dictionary of lace terms by C. R. Clifford, published in New York in 1913. It defines historic, commercial, technical, native and foreign lace names alphabetically, covering lace types, place names and centers of manufacture, machines and materials. The introduction classifies lace into eight varieties (drawn-work, darned work, cut-work, needle-point, bobbin, knotted, crochet and machine lace). Many halftone photographs of lace samples illustrate the entries, and a page index closes the volume.
