A short illustrated article from The Connoisseur on English pillow-lace (bobbin lace) bobbins. It sketches the history of the lace industry in England and its decline with machine-made lace, and describes bobbins of wood and bone, regional differences in decoration, inscribed love-token bobbins, movable rings, gimp bobbins, tallies and bead 'jingles'. Two pages of illustrations show old wooden and bone bobbins.
