Alan Cole, who was writing around 1900, wrote some books about lace, but also
wrote reports to the government about the economic condition of lacemakers. I
think he was curator of the V& A for a while.

Alan Cole's father was involved in the establishment of the V and A
Museum in London. Alan Cole's Parlimentary reports are available in the
House of Commons library where 'my husband,also Alan, did much of his
research.
Alan did not re-write the reports, he did research in the Commons
Library,the Guildhall and the London Library in Bishopsgate.
