Illustrated catalogue of the 1915 exhibition of Spanish linen goods and laces from the 16th to the 19th century, organized by the Sociedad Española de Amigos del Arte. It opens with historical notes by the Marqués de Valverde arguing that Spanish lace (punto de España) arose independently in the late 15th and 16th centuries and was exported widely. The numbered catalogue lists embroidered towels, bobbin and needle laces, drawn-work and other pieces with dimensions, dates and lender names. It closes with many photographic plates, some in color, referring back to catalogue numbers.
