Lace, ancient and modern; Comprising a history of its origin and manufacture, with instructions concerning the manner of making it
Lace, Ancient and Modern is a 1880 New York book on lace history and making, written by Mrs. C. D. Beebe and published by Sharps Publishing Company for amateur lacemakers and general readers. The four plates show dense black-ground and white-thread lace panels, edgings and medallions, with geometric net grounds, looped scalloped borders and circular rosettes that a designer could adapt for ornamental borders, textile patterns or decorative frames.
