Marian Powys was a deeply knowledgeable lace maker, collector and entrepreneur, opening a shop called the Devonshire Lace Shop in Greenwich Village. She was an influential authority on lace, and consulted to The Met. She championed lace knowledge and passionately encouraged admiration of the artistry involved. She advocated for the use of lace and not just putting it in a drawer, celebrating the artistry of lace and the lacemakers instead of storing it in the darkness to decay.
Excellent condition, as I didn’t use it because I was expecting the first edition from the vendor who used the wrong image in their listing.
Hardcover, 1981 reprint version
