AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Madame Bury Palliser - History of Lace - a work illustrated with 161 wood engravings and 10 colour plates, published by Firmin Didot & Cie, 1890. - 340 pp. half morocco, the two boards are adorned with the edition’s percaline decorations inserted on the morocco binding, with gilded edges. Nicely bound.
The art of lace has become so closely intertwined from the earliest times with the work of the needle that it is impossible to undertake the history of one without giving some idea of the other. Its history begins in the Old Testament where many passages relate to embroidery; Minerva punished Arachne who claimed to rival her in her favorite craft, Homer speaks of veils, headdresses, and embroidered fabrics, the Anglo-Saxons have found remains of lace-blackened in Viking tombs, there has not been a king or princess whose garments were not adorned with motifs in lace; and this art today is reappearing among fashion designers.
Fanny Bury Palliser, born September 23, 1805 and died January 16, 1878, was a British writer on art and lace.
