A short one-page note from The Connoisseur on Honiton lace, the English bobbin lace prized by Queen Victoria. It gives a brief history of its introduction by Flemish refugees and the shift from Flemish designs to floral patterns. It also names other places where it is made and argues that fine flax thread would suit it better than white cotton. A photograph shows an old Honiton lace handkerchief over a century old.
