L'Europe de la Dentelle - Lace in Europe
A truly magnificent work on the history and development of lace, up to the First World War within a European context. Numerous portraits illustrate the role of lace in clothing throughout the centuries and across different European countries.
It includes many photographic illustrations, mostly in colour and many full-page, which show exquisite lace from the whole period covered. These are supported by text (in French) which explains the source and context of the lace, describing the development of lace within each country.
This book is a joy throughout and a must for any serious collector of lace or the lace historian - and, indeed, is of interest to lace makers in general.
In essentially as-new condition.
Large format (310mm x 250mm - 12in x 10in), 320 pages, cloth bound with jacket.
French text.
