Goldenberg is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work serves as a comprehensive guide aimed primarily at those engaged in the commercial aspect of lace-making, detailing the art's history intertwined with various cultural and societal influences over several centuries. Goldenberg explores the intricate development of lace from its origins to the present day, shedding light on its significance in both economic and artistic contexts. The opening of the text introduces Goldenberg's intent to provide a practical overview of lace-making's evolution, acknowledging that while his work may not delve into exhaustive scholarly detail, it draws on significant historical narratives and examples. He mentions that lace, as we comprehend it now, emerged in the early 16th century, primarily attributed to regions such as Italy and Belgium, and describes the advent of various techniques like needle-point and bobbin lace. He notes the role of convents in nurturing these arts and proceeds to outline the various processes, methods, and a glimpse into the subsequent industrial developments that transformed lace-making from a meticulous handcraft to a mass-production endeavor with machine-made variants.
