Lacy dreams.
Lacy dreams is a 1920 London trade catalogue issued by White House (Linen Specialists) Ltd, presenting its lace and linen goods to prospective buyers. The four pictures are flat black-line illustrations of a stylised woman in a bobbed hairstyle sewing, mending and handling textiles, plus a grid of embroidered handkerchiefs and napkins; a designer might borrow the crisp Art Deco outlines, the restrained navy and blue rule bands, and the clean geometric layout of the fabric samples.
