Excerpt from The Dictionary of Needlework
To many who are not workers, the Lace portion of the Dictionary will, it is hoped, be especially interesting, as there will be found full particulars and numerous engravings of the various makes, both ancient and modern, and in very many instances the most minute instructions for working them - for even some of the most prized of Old laces can be successfully Copied by all who have patience, leisure, and eyesight. In this branch of our subject we have derived much assistance from a series of papers published in The Bazaar, many years ago, under the title of Old Laces, and How to Make Them, written by a lady using the nom de plume of Santia Barnabas.
