A short 1847 Scientific American note in the "Curious Arts" column describing how to coat bobbin net or lace with copper by electroplating. The net is stretched on a copper wire and brushed with powdered plumbago (black lead). It is then placed between copper plates connected to a galvanic battery. The coated lace can be gilded or silvered and used for small articles such as jewel cases.
