A 1920 plate book, Antique Laces of American Collectors, text by Frances Morris and Marian Hague, published in New York for the Needle and Bobbin Club by W. Helburn Inc., cataloguing lace from private American collections, with Italian, French and Netherlandish pieces. Its plates are photographs of lace set against dark grounds, showing borders, flounces and edgings in fine needle and bobbin work, with dense floral, scrolled and figurative patterns that a designer could draw on for surface pattern, trim and ornamental border motifs.
