Nancy What is really interesting about the word frequency graph is that the needle lace spikes match the bobbin lace ones, but at a lower level. I suppose that is an illustration of the relative interest in the two forms of lace. The spikes at 1900 and 1960 are odd. The one just be fore 1980 may be Doris Southard's book. Tebbs was 1907 and 1911. Brooke was 1923. Another surprising thing is that the post 1960 revival does not exceed the 1900-1925 revival. I would have expected it to greatly exceed the earlier one.
