520 _a"Seven Centuries of Lace" by Maria Margaret Pollen is a comprehensive study on the art of lace-making, published in the early 20th century. This richly illustrated volume explores the historical, technical, and artistic aspects of both needlepoint and bobbin-made lace, spanning from the early centuries to the author's contemporary period. The work aims to document the evolution of lace design and techniques while providing full-sized reproductions of various lace specimens, making it a valuable resource for enthusiasts and scholars alike. The opening of the book sets the stage for its exploration by explaining the author's motivation to share her extensive lace collection through photography, emphasizing the difficulty in understanding lace from mere illustrations. It introduces the author's intention to highlight the intricate details of historical lace designs, some of which have roots in ancient Coptic work. The introductory text reveals an appreciation for the artistry involved in lace-making and establishes a timeline for the development of lace, demonstrating its cultural significance in both religious and secular contexts through the ages.
