A short 1976 booklet on the history and technique of Coggeshall lace, a tamboured (hook-embroidered) net lace made in Essex, England. It covers lace types and machine-made net, tambour tools and frames, the early Coggeshall industry and its link to Limerick lace, filling stitches and designs, and the 19th and 20th century decline and revival. It includes photographs of motifs, a collar and a handkerchief, diagrams of six filling stitches, a bibliography and sources for tambour hooks.
