Bucks. Lace
Page 1 of 1, a sample page, at reduced quality. Open the document to read it in full.
A one-page article from The Connoisseur on the state of the Buckinghamshire pillow lace industry in the early 1900s. It discusses the revival of lace-making among women in the Bucks, Bedfordshire, Northamptonshire and Huntingdonshire district, the preference for older point-ground lace versus Maltese lace, and the difficulty of training younger women now that lace schools have ended. The author floats the idea of teaching lace-making for part of the school day. Two photographs show a point-ground collar from an old design and a fan leaf in a modern design.
