Old point lace and how to copy and imitate it
Old Point Lace and How to Copy and Imitate It is a manual of lace-making instruction published in London by Chatto and Windus in 1878, written by Daisy Waterhouse Hawkins for needleworkers and copyists. Its plates pair black-ground lace patterns with line drawings meant for tracing, showing edgings and borders built from scrolling vines, rosettes and leaf forms, which a designer could adapt for ornamental borders, trims and repeating linear motifs.
