  • Lace, Its Origin and History
    *fe/m/e/Z. Ge/akrtfarp SSreniano 's 7?ew 2/or/c 1904 Copyrighted, 1904, BY Samuel L. Goldenberg. — Art library "I have here only a nosegay of culled flowers, and have brought nothing of my own but the thread that ties them together." Montaigne. HE task of the author of this work has not been an attempt to brush the dust of ages from the early history of lace in the •^ hope of contributing to the world's store of knowledge on the subject. His purpose, rather, has been to present to those whose rela- tion to lace is primarily a commercial one a compendium that may, perchance, in times of doubt, serve as a practical guide. Though this plan has been adhered to as closely as possible, the history of lace is so interwoven with life's comedies and tragedies, extending back over five centuries, that there must be, here and there in the following pages, a reminiscent tinge of this association. Lace is, in fact, so indelibly associated with the chalets perched high on mountain tops, with little cottages in the valleys of the Appenines and Pyrenees, with sequestered convents in provincial France, with the raiment of men and women whose names loom large in the history of the world, and the futile as well as the successful efforts of inventors to relieve tired eyes and weary fingers, that, no matter how one attempts to treat the subject, it must be colored now and again with the hues of many peoples of many periods. The author, in avowing his purpose to give this work a practical cast, does not wish to be understood as minimizing the importance of any of the standard works compiled by those whose years of study and research among ancient volumes and musty manuscripts in many tongues have been a labor of love.

  • The Power of Lace by Gil Dye
    The Power of Lace by Gil Dye This image appeared on page 3 of The Times in September 2013. The article is about a proposal by the University of London to sell a copy of Shakespeare's First Folio. The folio frontispiece has a portrait of Shakespeare with a totally plain collar, however the dominant portrait is one that has absolutely no link with the folio, but it does have lacei and the picture editor would have been well aware that lace attracts attention and more lace attracts more attention. This is the position today as it has been since lace first appeared on portraits in the mid 1500s. For most of The Times, 4 September 2013 those 450+ years lace has wielded a power that is totally out of all proportion to what is no more than a network of fragile threads. The Beginning The portrait above and this one of Lady Dorothy Done were both painted around 1610 by which time lace was firmly established as a fashion fabric and an important marker of the wealth and status of the wearer. Lady Done has white linen lace as a ruff and around her neckline and wrists, while her bodice, sleeves and skirt are decorated with long lengths of a simple gold lace. The gold lace and the lace of the ruff are bobbin lace; the lace on her cuffs and that around her neck are needlelace.ii Bobbin lace and needle lace are considered to be the two classic laces; both evolving during the 1500s. The origins and techniques are very different, but by the end of the century the finished effects were often surprisingly similar.
