Lace-making in the Midlands : past and present
A 1900 London study of lace-making in the English Midlands, past and present, written by C. C. Channer and published by Methuen, drawn from Cornell University Library holdings. The four plates show lace samples photographed against dark grounds, with white bobbin-style floral scrolls, leaves and sprigs on fine net; a designer could take their dense trailing vine rhythms and open mesh patterns for surface pattern and border work.
