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. Â 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. Â Devon
