About This Book

A detailed account of Belgian lace-making traditions, focusing on bobbin and needle techniques, regional styles, and the people, schools, and villages that sustained the craft. The author surveys historical development and practical instruction, profiles specific centers of production, documents wartime efforts to preserve and revive the industry under royal and civic committees, and describes design, teaching, and economic conditions. Illustrated plates and an appendix provide technical examples, patterns, and classroom practices, while chapters on individual towns record local variations and institutional responses to modernization and postwar recovery.
