我们今天所知的蕾丝，起源于16世纪之前的抽纱、镂空和蕾丝（在方格网布上织补），这些技艺源于几个世纪以来刺绣和针线活的演变。在古埃及的墓葬中发现了精致的网布痕迹；《圣经》中提到“用针线活织成的细麻布”；在斯堪的纳维亚半岛的几个世纪前的墓室中也发现了金色蕾丝的碎片。

这部关于蕾丝制作的著作是19世纪学术的里程碑，其对蕾丝制作的广泛研究和多面论述至今无人能及。该著作的第三版出版于1875年，并于1901年进行了大幅修订和扩充，新增了大量关于意大利、英国、爱尔兰、克里特岛和西西里岛蕾丝的资料。书中还添加了近100幅插图，展示了不同的蕾丝穿戴方式。该书第四版于 1911 年在美国出版，现完整无删节地重印于此。

帕利瑟夫人将严谨的研究与简洁易读的风格相结合，追溯了意大利、希腊、西班牙、葡萄牙、佛兰德斯、法国、英格兰、苏格兰、爱尔兰和其他国家的蕾丝制作历史和发展。作者大量引用当时的文献，概述了基于几何形状的威尼斯蕾丝reticella、轻盈华丽的法国尖头蕾丝、瓦朗谢纳蕾丝（一种精细的菱形网眼蕾丝，常用于装饰和褶边）、尚蒂伊蕾丝（一种带有华丽图案的精致网眼蕾丝）、西班牙尖头蕾丝（用金银线制成）以及许多其他品种的演变。除了详细介绍蕾丝本身的发展之外，帕利瑟夫人还向我们介绍了影响其制造的社会、文化和经济条件。

本书共收录超过90张照片、173幅版画和线条画，描绘了数十种不同的蕾丝及其在衣领、褶边、手帕、围裙、扇子、头巾、衬裙、面具、披肩和教会服饰中的运用。许多插图均经过放大，以展现针法细节。《蕾丝史》值得每位刺绣工匠珍藏，也是服装和文化史学家的参考书之一。本书内容多面，以轶事和丰富的插图编年史形式，对这门自古以来就装饰和点缀着人类服饰的古老艺术进行了丰富的记录。

Lace as we know it today developed prior to the sixteenth century from the drawn work, cutwork, and lacis (darning on squares of net) that evolved out of centuries of embroidery and needlework. Traces of elaborate netting have been found in the tombs of ancient Egypt; the Bible mentions "fine twisted linen wrought with needlework"; and centuries-old Scandinavian burial chambers have yielded fragments of gold lace.

This definitive history of lace-making is a landmark of nineteenth-century erudition and scholarship that has never been surpassed for its wide learning and comprehensive treatment of the subject. The third edition of the work, published in 1875, was substantially revised and enlarged in 1901, with much new material on the laces of Italy, England, Ireland, Crete, and Sicily. Nearly 100 new illustrations were added to show different fashions of wearing lace. This fourth edition, published in the United States in 1911, is reprinted here complete and unabridged.

Combining meticulous research with a concise, readable style, Mrs. Palliser traces the history and development of lace-making in Italy, Greece, Spain, Portugal, Flanders, France, England, Scotland, Ireland, and other lands. Quoting extensively from the literature of the day, the author outlines the evolution of reticella, a Venetian lace based on geometric forms; the light and flowery point de France; Valenciennes, a fine diamond-meshed lace much used for trimming and ruffles, Chantilly, a delicate mesh with ornate patterns; point d'Espagne, made with gold and silver threads; and many other varieties. In addition to detailing the development of the lace itself, Mrs. Palliser acquaints us with the social, cultural, and economic conditions that affected its manufacture.

Over 90 photographs and 173 prints and line drawings depict dozens of different laces and their use in collars, ruffs, handkerchiefs, aprons, fans, mantillas, petticoats, masks, mantles, and ecclesiastical garments. Many of the illustrations have been enlarged to show details of stitching. History of Lace is a book that belongs in the library of every needleworker as well as among the reference books of costume and cultural historians. It is a comprehensive, anecdotal, and profusely illustrated chronicle of an age-old art that has adorned and embellished the clothing and accoutrements of mankind since earliest times.
