Beautiful images,
By Lady La (Brooklyn, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lace: From the Victoria and Albert Museum (Hardcover)
This lavishly illustrated book has a small amount of text providing a basic history of lace from the seventeenth to twentieth centuries, but its real strength is in its 100 high quality photographs of laces from the Victoria and Albert Museum's collection.
