Devon pillow lace: its history and how to make it
A 1908 Cassell handbook by A. Penderel Moody and A.E. Tompkins on Devon pillow lace, covering its history and the method of making it. The pictures are black-and-white photographs of lace edgings and motifs, showing scrolling vine patterns, rosettes, and looped scalloped borders against dark backgrounds. A designer could take from them the repeating floral trims, leaf sprays, and rounded scallop edgings of traditional bobbin lace for textile or border patterns.
