SUMMARY- The series was published quarterly, and I only have three issues - the earliest one I have is dated 1891, and does not include a volume number - I'm guessing it is the first edition, Vol. 2, No. 3, and Vol. 6, No. 1. I don't know how long it ran, or if any of them contained tatting(the three(3) I own do not). This book gives 100's of photos of Modern point, Honiton, Point de Bruges, Royal Battenburg, Ideal Honiton, etc. laces. I love just browsing through it. It claims to be a tutorial book - but the instructions are pretty brief and are not specific to the elaborate examples given.
