The Lace Dictionary. Originally published in 1913. Many of the earliest books on weaving, textiles and needlework, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork. INTRODUCTION: IN PREPARING this book it has been our object to give not only a complete dictionary of terms, historic and commercial, but to so arrange the matter that one may be able to analyze any piece of lace and, with little difficulty, give it its proper classification.
