      • Product Description: Lace outlines the art and craft of the exquisite technique of lacemaking, following its origins in the late fifteenth century to the fashions of the present day. The author has selected fine examples of lace to illustrate the text, showing the huge variety of design and talent. Developments in technology allowed lace-makers to become more adventurous as designs became so sophisticated that astonishingly naturalistic effects could be achieved. Details such as these and many others have all been specially photographed, and the result is a feast for the eye as well as a survey of exquisite craftsmanship.

        This book is also a showcase for the many pieces of lace, which the V&A hold in their collection, which are too fragile to be displayed. This book therefore is a unique record of some of the oldest, most delicate lace ever made.
