Chats on old lace and needlework;
A 1925 London book on lace and needlework by Mrs Emily Leigh Lowes, written as a collector's guide for enthusiasts and students of antique textiles. Its pictures are black-and-white photographs of lace fragments, including Brussels bobbin lace with dense ground patterns, scalloped edgings, and sprigged net with floral motifs, which a designer could use as reference for ornamental borders, lacy textures, and vintage botanical pattern.
