EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning piece of Alencon lace, beautifully captured by the French School in the 19th century. The intricate details and delicate craftsmanship of this needle lace are truly awe-inspiring. The image is part of a French educational card from the late 19th or early 20th century, providing a glimpse into the world of lacemaking and textile crafts during that era. It offers a valuable resource for those interested in studying costume design and historical fashion. The lace sample featured in this photograph represents the renowned Point d'Alencon style, originating from Normandy, France. Its exquisite patterns and meticulous execution demonstrate the skill and artistry of its creator. Interestingly, this image also brings to mind another association with Alencon - Chocolat d'Aiguebelle. In Normandy's charming town of Alencon, one can find delectable chocolates at Chocolat d'Aiguebelle sweet shop. This juxtaposition between lace-making and chocolate indulgence adds an unexpected twist to our understanding of French culture. Whether you appreciate fine textiles or have a sweet tooth for chocolate treats, this print offers both visual delight and cultural significance. It serves as a reminder that artistry can be found not only in traditional crafts but also in everyday pleasures like food and confectionery delights.
