A review article from the Burlington Magazine (1912) of E. Van Overloop's plate book on the lace collection of the Royal Museums of Decorative and Industrial Arts in Brussels. It surveys the Brabant, Flanders, Mechlin, Binche, Valenciennes and Brussels laces illustrated, and notes filet, whitework embroidery and plaited edgings. It singles out the 1599 Ommeganck coverlet and the 1708 bobbin lace commemorating Charles VI's marriage. Two plates show details of Flanders lace (1670), Brussels bobbin lace (1599) and Brussels bobbin lace (1708).

A 1911 Burlington Magazine article arguing that early sixteenth-century Venetian punto in aria needle lace is among the finest periods of lace design, and that its designs derive from Persian sources such as fourteenth-century tiles. It traces lace from knotted thread, lacis and reticello (linen-based) to needle-made punto in aria. It also laments how pointed lace was mangled in repair, with plates showing injured and restored pieces, and appeals to owners to preserve fragments rather than restore them.

A 1908 illustrated book on antique lace by Mrs. John Hungerford Pollen, with a preface by Alan Cole. It reproduces specimens from her own collection in about 120 full-page photographic plates, many at actual size or showing enlarged stitches. The text includes an introduction, a glossary of lace terms, and sections on needle-point lace (lacis, tela tirata, reticello, punto in aria, rose-point, Alençon, Argentan) and bobbin-made lace (Genoese, Flemish, Brussels, Valenciennes, Honiton and others). Plate captions give dimensions, country and date for each piece, from Italian 14th-century drawn work to 18th-century French, Flemish, Spanish and English lace.
