There's a similar picture of 12 elderly Bedfordshire lacemakers, combined ages 1,007 years at I've recently acquired a postcard depicting 20 Bucks lace workers, > members of the Bucks lace Industry, Olney. It states that their > combined age is 1600 years Much as it was once customary to cover a piece of lace with shillings to determine payment, It seems to be customary when one takes a picture of lacemakers to add their ages together. Why are we not continuing this charming custom, especially with our annual Arachne photo? Devon
