Book Review: Beautiful images
Summary: 4 Stars
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.
Summary of Lace: From the Victoria and Albert Museum
Lace focuses on the world-renowned collection of exquisite hand-made lace at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London. From the delicate geometric perfection favored by Elizabethan courtiers to the bold floral exuberance of the Victorian age, this comprehensive book covers the art of lacemaking as it has been practiced for more than 300 years. The 150 beautiful illustrations, including many close-up details, highlight the intricate techniques and designs.History Books
