A 1930 French-language survey of lace and related needlework in Czechoslovakia, published by the National Institute of School Supplies in Prague. It opens with Jos. Vydra's historical essay on the origins and regional development of Czech and Slovak lacemaking, then M. Sedláčková-Serbousková's technical account of folk lace: drawn-thread work, netting, bobbin lace, crochet, needle lace and embroidery on machine tulle. A final section covers lace education and schools. Most of the book is photographic and colour plates with a table of reproductions giving makers, regions, materials and collections.
