Dear Devon, Â Â In the official book, Halas Lace Catalogue, on page 40 - English translation - it tells about Arpad Dekani, b. 1861 - d. 1931. Â Halas lace first appeared in 1902. Â Between 1902 and 1906 every lace was designed by Dekani. Â Between 1902 and 1911 they were sewn with coloured threads and sometimes decorated with metallic yarn. Â I have no idea how to provide a hi res photo, but can mail the book to you, if that would be helpful. Â This book contains photos of about every lace made after 1902. Â Paper stock is of high quality, so I think you could select what you prefer and have a hi res photo made.

 I am writing the catalog entry for a piece of lace by Agnes Herczeg. Herczeg said in an interview that she admired the work of Arpad Dekani, the first designer of Halas lace, a Hungarian needle lace industry started in 1902.  It would be nice to have a hi res photo of one of Arpad Dekani's laces to accompany this entry. Does anyone know of a hi res photo of his work that might be on Open Access, or maybe be in private hands? If I have to pay for the photo, I will just refer to him in the text. But if there was one available for free, it would be nice to have it in the catalog.  Devon - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.
