A practical guide to historic dress. “Clothes” is a subject that has
been neglected by collectors, and this book will be a useful guide to
those who desire to repair that neglect by forming a collection.

This book presents in a concise and popular form a variety of valuable
information on the collection and preservation of miniatures, on the
leading English and French artists, and on the specimens exhibited in
public galleries.
“Mr. Foster is truly a guide, philosopher and friend. He tells us
not only how to judge and how to buy miniatures, but how to take
proper care of them.... The splendid photographs by which the book is
enriched adds in a great measure to its attractiveness and utility.”

*Chats on Old Lace and Needlework.* By MRS. LOWES. With a frontispiece
and 74 other Illustrations. Cloth, 10s. 6d. net. Third Impression.
Written by an expert and enthusiast in these most interesting branches
of art. The low price at which the work is issued is exceptional in
dealing with these subjects, and it is remarkable in view of the
technical knowledge displayed and the many photographic illustrations
which practically interleave the book.
“In commendable, clear and concise style Mrs. Lowes explains the
technical features distinguishing each example, making the book the
utmost value in identifying samples of old lace.”--
