This book consists of a step-by-step series of exercises that were created in the early 20th century to train new lacemakers. The original materials were part of the “Central School of Lacemaking” and the course materials believed to be from a curriculum developed between 1908-1918. It begins with simple projects and each new one adds a different skill or feature for the lacemaker to advance.
It is a very nice book with clear diagrams that enables some people to teach themselves the foundations of lace. The text is in German, French, and English.
Each example has a photo of the original piece, the modern reconstruction, and the working diagram and pricking.
