It’s public domain day here in the U.S. with the new crop of published books written in 1929 rolling into the public domain. I usually try to check things out early and point out needlework books. I’m running behind, however, so I’ll get to that asap.
In the meantime, I found this fun exhibition catalog from the Cooper Hewitt from 1982 that is available at the Internet Archive via the Smithsonian. I was looking at buying a used copy and was happy to find the whole book available. https://archive.org/details/laceincollection00coop
