A 1896 beginner's handbook on Torchon bobbin lace made on the Vienna lace machine (American model), written by Mary E. Bradford and published for the Barbour Brothers Company. It gives general directions on bobbins, thread, pins and pattern setup, then step-by-step instructions for grounds (net, hole, tulle, Brussels, Valenciennes, rose, eternelle) and edgings and insertions (loop point, baby lace, diamond point, spider, round point, fairy, Copenhagen). It ends with assembly directions for the lace machine and a price list for thread, bobbins and patterns. Engravings and photographs illustrate each ground and lace.
