I haven't read it, but I think the novel by Jean Montupet called the Lacemaker is one of the few to actually deal with the lives of lacemakers. However, I believe they are French Needlelacers of the 18th century. Since the person asked for a "depiction" does she mean a book or a picture? At the Met last summer they had an engraving of a 17 century lacemaker by an artist whose name I always get wrong. It is something like Golthius, or Goltzius. Tamara wrote it down! The engraving was on loan from the Rijksmuseum. Devon
