A review of a Belgian Ministry of Industry and Labor report on home lace-making, prepared by Dr. Pierre Verhaegen. It summarizes the history of lace, the making of needle lace and bobbin lace, and the main Belgian types (Brussels, Mechlin, Valenciennes, Chantilly, guipure, duchess and others). It then covers working conditions, low pay, the role of middlemen and convents, lace-makers' songs, and proposals for reform.
