Plot

A small folded brochure from 1931. It contains many images of work in progress on the tall upright bolster pillows typical in Spain. Does not contain patterns, but does have numerous sharp black & white photos of very nice edgings and insertions that could likely be reproduced by skilled lacemakers today. Also includes some medallion/mat examples and a larger doily. (There's a really interesting serpentine insertion corner and edge that someday I'm going to look for so I wanted to note it here. --Mary)
