A French-language collector's guide to antique lace by Ch. Maguë, published in Paris in 1930 in the series 'Collection des Collectionneurs'. It covers collecting practice, the history of lace and its distinction from embroidery, tools, patterns and grounds, fraud and imitations, and then Italian, French, Belgian, English and other European and exotic laces. About 40 collotype plates and a color frontispiece show Venetian, Milanese, Genoese, Alençon, Argentan and Flemish laces, lace-making equipment and portraits showing lace costume.
