Margaret Simeon was a designer of textiles and a teacher of textile design and history when she first became interested in lace in the 1940's. She began collecting lace, and studying it, and in 1979 wrote "The History of Lace", which is illustrated to a very large extent with pieces from her collection. Her book is still considered one of the most scholarly approaches to the history of lace ever written, and is, of course, out of print. Occasionally one will pop up on eBay.
