Histoire de la dentelle
Histoire de la dentelle is a French translation of Bury Palliser's history of lace, published in 1892 and translated by Gédeon de Clermont-Tonnerre, held by Heidelberg University Library. The pictures are white-on-dark plates of lace samples, including a rosette-and-mesh panel, a vertical border with acorn and leaf motifs, a dense floral piece, and a pointed corner with sprigged motifs over a honeycomb ground, useful to a designer studying openwork pattern construction and repeat structure.
