"A Sixteenth Century Industry". Printed by Bonaventure Press, Northampton,
and Published by H. H. Armstrong, B.C.W.A. Olney, Bucks., England.
This book is also mentioned in the first of Pam Smith's articles on
Alice (Bill) Clark, Lace 92. This series of articles relates to the
articles that Bill collected, and I recall there were quite a few
mentions of the Agency. There is also mention of the Bucks Cottage
Workers Agency in Liz Bartlett's "Lace Villages", and the bibliography
to that book lists a book about the Victorian and Edwardian Lace
Associations, (published in 1973) and reference to documents held by the
Bedfordshire Local History group.
The likelihood is, Jeri, that there have been "consolidating" books
and/or articles written regarding the history of such agencies, but if
they were written in the time around 1912 when there was a move to get
lace taught in adult education, there is a possibility that they may
still be in copyright, but not in print, and thus may well be presently
sitting archived in a black hole away from library shelves. In the
current economic climate, it would be very unlikely that such specialist
interests books would be republished by the copyright holders, and it
would be illegal for anyone else to reproduce them without their
permission.
