Thanks Rita, indeed Beeton is on gutenberg available to all. Lorelei, you
have hit the nail on the head. No wonder I wasn't finding much other than tape
lace when I initially searched for needle lace online! Point de gaz(e)
wouldn't have been made by amateurs. Ironically, that fact brought

Thank you Barbara for adding Madame Goubaud to my reading list. Surely I will
be better prepared for the next demo at a historical home, of which there are
many in Western Pennsylvania Northeastern Ohio! We had a good turnout
yesterday in Niles, OH in spite of the intermittent downpours.

The material in Beeton's book of Needlework published in 1870 appeared
in a series of books by Madame Goubaud issued between 1866 and 1871. I
found this when I checked them in the British Library which holds 14 of
Madame Goubaud's books. Mrs Beeton died in 1865.

the future. My initial search returned several resources for

Hi Susan and everyone
There is a search box for the digital archives site, look on the left-hand
frame towards the bottom on the home page. It has a Google logo but it is
for the site. You can also link to search all of google from there.
Maybe the volume by good ol' Mrs. Bury Palliser has
I would check Patricia Wardle's Victorian Lace, and Santina Levey in that
era. Also, look for motifs on the huge triangular shawls that were made to
fit over the hoop skirts. Ribbon designs were very popular as were oval
motifs and ferns. What is the purpose of your inquiry?
