Extensive list of early lace books

I was looking for something else today (as so often happens to me…) and I came across this astonishing list of early lace books. I wanted to be sure to capture it for future use.

Early lace book bibliography: Modelbuch List from Is that an Apres?

If this is a topic of interest to you, probably you’d be interested in where I came across it. I found it from Grace’s Lace book and link page.

I think a lot of those should be going into Wikipedia at some point. If you are looking to practice editing pages and want to find some books to add in as references and sources, those are some great choices.

And if you search Wikimedia Commons for something like “Modelbuch” you can see page after page after page of these.
