First part of M. Jourdain's series on English pillow lace in The Connoisseur, dealing with Honiton and Devonshire trolly lace. It traces the history of the Honiton industry from Flemish refugees in the 16th century through the 19th-century effects of machine net and appliqué work. It also describes raised work, gimp and stitches, the Honiton pillow and bobbins, and trolly lace made near Exmouth. Illustrated with plates of 18th- and early 19th-century pieces from the Victoria and Albert Museum, the Exeter Museum and private collections.
