Thanks for jogging my memory Karen! I knew I had seen a fabulous presentation but couldn't recall details. Your pictures of the lace on the big screen really defined the beauty & intricacy of the motifs. They are a wonderful legacy of trying times. Sincerely, Susan Hottle in PBG, FL iPhone

This chat has made me go back to our photos taken when in Washington DC, and the visit, with the IOLI tour, - to the American History Museum, and the wonderful day out we had on that tour. We saw many of the pieces shown on the web site, and luckily DH took photos of many of the pieces! I must ad

Liz I have no problem enlarging them on my laptop (Windows based - via Google chrome). I can get the footside pinholes of the first one TE*T14227 to be about 3 inches apart, and it is still not pixelated. Having expanded and enlarged it, I found I had to shrink it back to small to find the

Re: [lace] lace: War Laces made in Belgium, WWI

Karen, I have just spent a pleasant afternoon on the porch looking through this site. I was not able to figure out how to enlarge the pictures and still have them be sharp. They looked very pixelated if I enlarged them to fill the screen on my tablet. Am I doing something wrong? I would love

The first group of 37 War Laces in the Smithsonian American History Museum collection is now available for study on the web. Please give me feedback, as this is a work in progress, and we have much to learn from you about these important laces. *http://americanhistory.si.edu/collections/object-grou
