An article by June Burns Bové describing three privately owned lace sample notebooks compiled by Marian Powys (the Grey, Fuller and Original notebooks), a follow-up to an earlier article on her Palisades and Newark notebooks. It describes each notebook's physical format and the order of its samples, covering needle laces, bobbin laces, decorated nets and English laces, with Powys's captions transcribed. A note compares some samples with illustrations in Santina Levey's Lace: A History. About fifty numbered plates of photographs show the individual lace samples with captions and dimensions.
