A 1904 history of lace by N. Hudson Moore, organized in five parts: the general growth of lace, Italian lace, Flemish lace, French and Spanish laces, and English and Irish lace. It traces lace through wardrobe accounts, sumptuary edicts, royal and noble patrons, and fashion, and describes specific types such as Point de Venise, Mechlin, Valenciennes, Alençon, Honiton and Carrickmacross. It is illustrated with plates of laces and of portraits showing lace collars, ruffs and cuffs, and has an index.
