Le poinct de France et les centres dentelliers au XVIIe et au XVIIIe siècles; ouvrage orné de quarante-trois illustrations
A French study of point de France lace and the royal lace-making centres of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, written by Laurence de Laprade and published in Paris by L. Laveur in 1905 for collectors, historians and textile specialists. Halftone photographs show lace flounces and edging samples against dark cloth, with crowned cartouches, birds, scrolling foliage and scalloped borders, alongside engraved armorial devices; useful for repeating border patterns, net grounds and heraldic ornament.
