A 1925 illustrated booklet prepared for retail salespeople, describing how to recognize the best-known laces. Chapter I covers bobbin, pillow and machine laces from Alençon to Valenciennes, Chapter II covers needle point laces such as English, Venetian, Rose Point and Point de Milan, and Chapter III is a postscript on embroideries (Byzantine, cut work, cross stitch, drawn thread, Moravian, petit point, smocking, stump work, jeweled). Each entry gives brief history, how the lace is made, how to tell real from machine-made, and a photograph of a sample. A glossary of lace terms closes the book.
