Have you enquired of the UK Lace Guild and other guilds if they have in their library a copy of the booket in which it was published? If so, and you're a member of the guild/society that has it, you might be able to borrow it.

Do let us know if you succeed in tracking it down Sue >> Hi Sue, As I said in my message the Itchen Valley lace makers no longer have the pattern, which to me seems a bit strange after all the work which must have gone into it. Just to work out the flowers on paper would have taken some time I shold think let alone draw up the pattern draft and then make the actual petals. My only hope seems to be if the Lace Guild can come up with something on the pattern. Maybe they did have the pattern and perhaps hold the copyright on it, if there was a copyright involved. Now that I have thought about it and realise it is no longer available via the lace group I would also like a copy of the whole bouquet not just the Lily of the Valley it contained. It was such a beautiful thing, though I only saw the rough sketch on the front page of the pattern sheets that my friend had. I could imagine what the real thing must have looked like.
