What reading level is History of Lace book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
About 1835 black lace again came into vogue, and the lace-makers were at once set to work at making black sUk laces with double ground, and afterwards they revived the single ground of the last centmy, called fond d' Alenpon," in the production of which they have continued to the present time unrivalled.
The laces of Chantilly have had to contend wi1|l tihose of Calvados, especially with the &brics of Bayeux ; but though the work is similar, iiiose of Chantilly maintain their ancient reputation.... The fineness of the reseau and the dose workmaaxship of the flowers give tibiem a natural firmness much valued by connoisseurs.
In 1851 there were fiK)m 8,000 to 9,000 lace-makers in the district of Caiantilly.
They only make the extra fine lace. The black shawls, dresses, scaife, now produced at Chantilly, are more objects of luxury than of commercial value.
The so-called Chantilly shawls in the Exhibition of 1862 were the production of Bayeux.
