Madame Goubaud's pillow lace patterns, and instructions in Honiton lace making
A pattern book of pillow lace designs by Madame Goubaud, published in London by Ward, Lock, and Tyler, intended for lacemakers learning Honiton and bobbin lace work. Its plates show single numbered lace motifs printed in white on mauve or purple blocks, with captions such as Small One Rose, Trefoil Pattern and Honiton Applique. A designer could take from them the tight, repeating botanical and geometric lace structures, shown isolated on flat colour panels that suit ornamental borders and pattern repeats.
