A lace guide for makers and collectors; with bibliography and five-language nomenculture, profusely illus. with halftone plates and key designs

Whiting, Gertrude · 1920 · New York, Dutton · 2 pictures

A 1920 lace guide by Gertrude Whiting, published by Dutton in New York, aimed at lace makers and collectors and covering lace making with a bibliography and multilingual terminology. The two pictures are plain black-and-white key designs: one a dense hexagonal star lattice with triangular points along the edges, the other a finer diamond-latticed mesh, both reading as bold geometric patterns a designer could adapt for textiles or surface pattern.
