Issue of the Needle and Bobbin Club's Bulletin (Vol. 22, No. 1, 1938). Gertrude Whiting describes Marshal Richelieu's seven-volume collection of dated, priced textile, ribbon, gauze and lace samples from 1732-1737 in the Bibliotheque Nationale, with plates. Frances Little traces the eighteenth-century Irish cotton and linen printing industry, its Dublin-area factories, copperplate printing and the 1783 'Volunteer Furniture' chintz. The issue also reprints John Taylor's 1634 poem 'The Praise of the Needle', and has book reviews (including Christie's English Medieval Embroidery and Reath and Sachs's Persian Textiles and Their Technique), club notes and a list of officers.
