Note 602 — Chapter XI
Reading edition
In the Public Record Office is an inventory of Lord Monteagle’s property, 1523 A.D.; amongst other things, is named a piece of Spanish work, “eight partletts garnished with gold and black silk work.” This Spanish work is rare, but the description reminds us of a specimen belonging to Louisa, Marchioness of Waterford (Plate 82)—a square of linen, worked with ostriches, turkeys, and eagles in gold and black silk stitches. See Mrs. Palliser’s “History of Lace,” pp. 6, 12.
