A lace guide for makers and collectors; with a bibliography and five-language nomenclature, profusely illus. with halftone plates and key designs
A 1920 reference manual on lace by Gertrude Whiting, published in New York by E. P. Dutton for lacemakers and collectors, with a bibliography and a nomenclature in five languages. The halftone plates photograph lace samples against dark grounds, isolating filling stitches, ground meshes, and scalloped edgings as flat repeating grids of knots, loops, and diamonds usable as textures, half-drop patterns, and border rules.
