5.0 out of 5 stars
Comprehensive guide to lace,
By MMCarolla (New Orleans, LA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Identification of Lace (Shire Library) (Paperback)
This book not only defines hundreds of types of lace - including close-up photographs, drawings, and diagrams of many of them - it also discusses terms dealing with the history and manufacture of these amazing works of art. It is a concise and comprehensive book that I have found incredibly helpful. It also has a wonderful bibliography for those who are looking for more detailed, in depth information regarding particular styles of lace.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A fascinating look at Lace,
By
This review is from: Identification of Lace (Paperback)
Although this book was published in 1980, the pictures and commentary are relevant to the lace maker, collector, or those interested in old lace.
The dozens of illustrations and pictures of lace along with the descriptions are detailed enough to identify lace pieces. Earnshaw has divided the lace identification into embroidered laces, needlepoint laces, bobbin laces, and machine laces. The back of the book contains a nice glossary and detailed index. |
