A short 2020 paper by Brian Lemin, part of his East Devon and Downton lace bobbin project, on decorated bobbins carved with the theological virtues Faith, Hope and Charity, plus Peace. It sets out the social and religious background of East Devon lacemakers and speculates on who made and sold decorated bobbins. It then describes the carved crinoline-dressed female figures, their dress and hairstyles, possible shared carvers, a pale wood Peace bobbin, and a Hope bobbin dated 1847 with anchors. Photographs of many virtue bobbins illustrate the text.
