Ten Pretty Designs in Modern Lace
Article · 1 page
A one-page illustrated article from the Ladies' Home Journal, January 1902, presenting ten designs for braid-based modern lace. Each photograph has a short caption naming the item and its materials, including a piano fall, collars, a bolero, scarves, a cuff, a hair ornament and a bertha. The braids used are Flemish, Arabian and point braids, worked with thread rings, gold thread and some embroidery, and the page gives no step-by-step instructions.
