520			_a"Chats on Old Lace and Needlework" by Emily Leigh Lowes is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work delves into the rich traditions and techniques of lace-making and embroidery, exploring both English and Continental styles. The book aims to bring attention to the beauty of these crafts, highlighting their significance in art and culture, particularly within the context of the Victorian and Edwardian periods. The opening of the book begins with a preface that sets the stage for the subsequent discussion on lace and needlework. Lowes expresses her intention to inspire English women and needlecraft artists to appreciate and revive the beauty of ancient laces and embroideries. She emphasizes the value of historical collections in public museums, particularly at the Victoria and Albert Museum, and notes the passing of unique pieces to American collectors. The text outlines the historical development of lace, touching on its early origins, craftsmanship, and evolution across various regions, such as Italy, France, and England, while foreshadowing more detailed explorations in the following chapters.
