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.

of lacemaking machines, with profuse illustrations comparing the machine laces
with handmade laces. Published in 1986.

Thank you for mentioning the availability of the catalog for the exhibit "LACE

In the introduction to her book of original patterns for Schneeberger lace
(2004), Lia Baumeister gives a short history of Schneeberger Lace: it
developed around 1915 in Schneeberg in Erzgebirge Germany, evolved from
Austria (Vienna) lace. The outside characteristic plait was added in 1935.
Thanks you for the notice about Anny Noben-Slegers. I continue to marvel over
her pattern "Pride of Africa",such a loving and lively depiction of the Big
Cats. A wonderful way to remember her.
