Two excerpts:

"Tatting consists of knots and picots, sometimes forming circles, sometimes semicircles or scallops ; worked in fine threads it may be classed as lace work, but when medium or coarse threads are used the result must be considered as passementerie or galoon."

" Our publication consists of an explanatory treatise illustrated by 25 engravings, to which are appended 8 plates containing 28 models in natural size, accompanied by a detailed description in order to facilitate their execution.

The particularly delicate character of this lace excludes any combination of large sized motifs. Our models, very finely executed, are composed of rounds and scallops of various dimensions, well proportioned and symmetrically grouped."
