The lace & embroidery collector; a guide to collectors of old lace and embroidery
A collector's handbook on antique lace and embroidery by R. E. Head, published in New York by Dodd, Mead in 1922 for amateur collectors and dealers learning to identify stitches and regional types. Halftone photographs of specimens show lace borders against black grounds and crewel-worked panels of scrolling stems, palmettes and blossoms, useful as dense allover pattern and repeat border stock.
