Summary "Spitzen und ihre Charakteristik" by Bertha von Jurie is a comprehensive publication about lace and its characteristics, written in the early 20th century. The book focuses on the artistry, techniques, and cultural significance of lace-making, detailing various styles and their historical contexts, particularly in European countries like Italy, France, and Belgium. It serves as both a guide and a reference for enthusiasts and collectors of lace. At the start of the work, the author presents the purpose of her writing, indicating her intention to create an accessible handbook for women who appreciate lace. She discusses the intricate and artisanal nature of lace-making, emphasizing its symbolic connection to femininity and the artistry involved. Jurie critiques the decline in traditional lace-making due to mechanization and changing societal values, while also highlighting the importance of understanding lace's history and craftsmanship to revive interest in genuine lace as an art form.
