About this book
American Lace & Lace-makers is by Emily Noyes Vanderpoel. The introduction says the lace made by the deft fingers of many an American woman cannot be portrayed in words, but must be pictured before it can be appreciated. The introduction adds that the plates in the book will tell of the patient, persevering, artistic women.
The text turns to lace among the first white settlers in America and says that some of them brought to this country not only good but rich and dainty clothes. The text says the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston contains a suit worn on training days by the first governor of Massachusetts, made of gay and superb brocade. A plate description covers a blue paper pattern for lace to be made on a pillow with thread on bobbins, made and owned by Miss Edith Beach, of West Hartford, Connecticut.
