Original

Mechlin, Chantilly, Valenciennes and Lille - these are not clues in some obscure crossword puzzle, but styles of lace-making brought to life in Margaret Simeon's history of the subject based on her own collection built up over four decades. The range of this study is astonishing. But no less remarkable is the detail with which the author records the fine variants of lace manufacture through the centuries and its wider social and economic context. A meticulous art is revealed - an art that has proved central to the long history of European fabrics, textiles and fashion.
