Lace album : a series of twenty-six plates of designs for lace

Fischbach, Friedrich, 1839-1908 · 1878 · [Place of publication not identified] : Privately printed for the author · 1 picture

A privately printed lace pattern album of twenty-six plates, made by Friedrich Fischbach in 1878 for the author's own circulation and for lacemakers and designers. The single plate shows two curved lace borders printed in pale tones on a dark ground, with scalloped edges, and a designer can take from it the density of floral infill and the way a scalloped border is repeated along a curve.
