Yes, good question. If there is a publisher and place stated, I would consult the appropriate government or library agency in the country of origin, that would advise on copyright. If you do a google search for, for example 'copyright in <name of country>' you should get some useful links. Chances are, without a date, it is an early publication (earlier than the time frame of copyright that has been mentioned).
But consider fair use, one can make a copy of a particular page for research purposes (lacemaker's research, yes?). However selling it is not right, and passing it off as one's own is not right, either.
