Lacis, practical instructions in filet brodé or darning on net:
Lacis is a 1909 London manual by Isabel A. Simpson teaching netting and darning on net, a craft handbook for needleworkers. Its plates show Egyptian knotted and woven textiles beside a practical netting pillow and mesh, so a designer could draw on their repeating medallion layouts, stylised animal motifs and fringed edges. The pictures are plain black-and-white photographs and line drawings of textile fragments and tools.
