A D.M.C Library album of needle-made lace patterns edited by Th. de Dillmont. It opens with an introduction on the history of needle lace and a short treatise on stitches and tracing. Fifteen plates follow: nine of Reticella patterns, two of imitation Reticella worked with braids, two of Venetian point, and two showing finished articles trimmed with the laces. Each plate has detachable white-on-black patterns at actual scale and tables of D.M.C thread sizes for the tracing, open-work and close stitches, corded bars and buttonhole stitch.
