A descriptive catalogue of the collection of lace ... : in the South Kensington museum.
A descriptive catalogue of the South Kensington Museum's lace collection, compiled by Alan S. Cole and drawing on Mrs Bury Palliser's history of lace, printed in London in 1881 for museum visitors and students. The plates show white lace patterns reproduced as light lines on black grounds, with Venetian and needle-point borders and scrolling foliage that a designer could adapt for surface pattern, trim, or ornamental border work.
