Re: [lace] Re:Mrs. Treadwin
I've got my copy with me here in North Wales as it's a good reference for needlelace stitches. (I'm running a Lacemaking Weekend as a fundraiser for the preserved railway where I volunteer tomorrow and Sunday). First published in 1874, reprinted by Lacet Publications in 1994. ISBN 1 874688 05 2 The Antique Point she included was Branscombe Point, not Battenberg, Jane :-) The book also has instructions for making Honiton (bobbin) lace, some history and how to care for lace (though the methods would probably raise eyebrows now).

The Antique Point is the Battenberg I make today, the Honiton is bobbin lace. (snip). I can't find my copy of her book at the moment so I can't give you the details on that. Very good for braid lace.

Re: [lace] 1851 Great Exhibition catalogue
Dear Louise Thank you very much for that. I must confess a little disappointment that there wasn’t more info but I guess Prince Albert wasn’t to know I’d be searching a hundred and sixty odd years later! Now I wonder where Thomas Wright got the information for his book - maybe from a local Olney source. Regards Diana > On 11 Oct 2019, at 08:28, Louise Bailey wrote: > > Oops can't see for looking.

Re: [lace] 1851 Great Exhibition catalogue
Dear all, Brian posted the link to the 'short version' for use while walking around the exhibition. As Diana says there were five volumes of the 'Official descriptive and illustrated catalogue of the Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of All Nations, 1851.' https://catalog.hathitrust.org/Record/001511517 V2 contains Section III Class 19 TAPESTRY, CARPETS, FLOOR-CLOTHS, LACE AND EMBROIDERY, and the following class 20. ARTICLES OF CLOTHING, FOR IMMEDIATE, PERSONAL OR DOMESTIC USE. These start at about p100 for the digitised version, p560 of the original printed book. No obvious mention of a demonstrator with her pillow. Other volumes might list bobbin manufacturers, lace machines such as Levers are in an earlier class.
