Yes, the Santina Levy book LACE is the best source for a complete history of
lace and lacemaking. However, it is expensive , (if available). If you have
access to any large Public Library, you might find it in the Reference Dept.
Many libraries also have instruction books on lacemaking
Thank you Devon, just found a second hand copy of this book on eBay for
£5.03 + postage.

Perhaps one would like something more elaborate, but there is a bit of a
timeline in The Illustrated History of Lace by Judyth L. Gwynne, p. 212-217.

I'm not aware of such a timeline, and I am somewhat leery of creating one. I
have many times thought about something like that, but have shied off each

But I find that the most difficult aspect is finding a way to integrate
the geographical aspect.
Sorry to make your task more difficult, but I think that the location of
the lace's making must be at least as important as the date and style.

Well let's try that again--is there such an animal? G**gle didn't find much.
To be specific, there are all sorts of historical timelines for various
subjects but I didn't find one for lace. Before attempting to create my own
timeline, I thought I would ask the experts. With Arachne help,
