Illustrated catalogue (1908) of the Iklé textile collection of embroidery and lace, donated by Leopold Iklé to the Industrie- und Gewerbemuseum St. Gallen in 1904. After a preface and an introduction on the history of embroidery and lace, it lists numbered items (Nr. 1 to about 1460s) arranged broadly in historical order, each with a short description of technique, material, origin and date. Entries cover whitework and drawn-thread embroidery, reticella, Lacis, bobbin, needle and Venetian relief lace, macramé, 18th-century silk embroidery, ecclesiastical embroidery (chasubles, copes, orphreys) and Chinese embroidery. Many pages carry photographs of individual pieces.
