A 1988 illustrated history of Coggeshall tambour lace, an Essex lace made by working chain stitch with a hook on machine-made net. It covers the technique and tools, the development of machine net (bobbinet), tambouring in Scotland and Limerick, and the growth of the Coggeshall industry in the 19th century. Later chapters deal with fashion trends, the early 20th century, recollections of lacemakers, the 1920-1940 period, makers of Great Tey, and the 1976 revival. It includes many photographs of hooks, frames, collars, veils, mats and modesty vests, plus a bibliography and useful addresses.
