Belgian Lace Making
Page 1 of 1, a sample page, at reduced quality. Open the document to read it in full.
A short item from Posselt's Textile Journal, July 1920, reporting on the state of the Belgian lace industry. It gives the decline in lace makers from 150,000 in 1875 to 45,000, the kinds of lace made (Malines, Paris, Lille, Binche, torchon), apprenticeship, hours, wages, and the crowded, unheated lace schools and middle-men that keep pay low. The page also carries a second short article on American Bureau of Standards research into the spectral transmissivities of dyes, and an aniline dye advertisement.
