The first issue of the Bulletin of the Needle and Bobbin Club, a New York lace-collectors' club founded in 1916. It contains a foreword by the club president, an illustrated article on lace bobbins from England, Italy, France, Spain, Switzerland and elsewhere, a memoir of the Bruges Beguinage lace makers, and reports of club lectures on Coptic network and Moro lace makers. It also has club notes, by-laws, a list of members, and a long bibliography of lace and embroidery books. Advertisements for lace dealers, teachers and hand-loom weavers fill the front and back pages.
