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).

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 Oln
Oops can't see for looking. 'Lace pillow with lace in progress employing
upwards of 600 bobbins each having a separate thread' right there on the first
page.
The rain must have addled my eyes

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.'
