History of lace
A history of lace published in London by Sampson Low in 1902, written by Mrs. Bury Palliser, a 19th-century author writing for a general readership of collectors and lace makers. The pictures are reproduced plates of lace samples, mostly light white or cream patterns on dark grounds, showing tape guipure, Venetian rose point and Chantilly bobbin net with scrolling foliage and sprigs a designer could borrow for ornamental borders, pattern repeats and textured surface motifs.
