Hi Natalie There is picture of two stocking fronts in 'The Romance of the Lace Pillow' by Thomas Wright. In my edition they are in volume 1, opposite page 37. However, there is something not quite right about the caption. It says stocking fronts were used in Queen Elizabeth's day. However, these have the periwinkle pattern worked in Regency Bucks and I believe this was a Victorian development of Bucks point lace. Perhaps these are not stocking fronts after all. Diana Smith has the prickings for these. Can you add any more information Diana?
