An article by Jonkheer Jan Six of The Hague on the origins of early Dutch bobbin lace, published in the Bulletin of the Needle and Bobbin Club. Six argues that Dutch lace of the 17th and 18th centuries is hard to tell apart from Flemish work. He uses Dirck Dircksz Santvoort's 1638 portrait of the Regentesses of the Spinhuis in Amsterdam as evidence that narrow bobbin lace was made in the spinhouse. He compares the lace in the painting with cuffs, a linen edging and a handkerchief from his own collection. Photographs of Dutch lace samples, including a Valenciennes-type cuff, a bobbin-filet ground and lace made for William V of Orange, are added by Gertrude Whiting with her notes.
