Article by Alan S. Cole in The Magazine of Art (1892) on Honiton, or Devonshire, lace made in the preceding five or six years. Cole discusses the history of bone lace and the influence of Flemish and Brussels refugee lace-makers after 1685. He distinguishes Point d'Angleterre from Point de Flandres guipure and describes experiments in new designs by Cuthbert Peek, Mrs. Fowler and Mrs. Treadwin, including designs from Cork and a Kenmare convent. He also covers the decline of lace schools and the state of the industry after his 1887 report. Illustrated with photographs of guipure, sprigs, a handkerchief corner and needlepoint and pillow-lace reproductions.
