The Honiton lace book
A late nineteenth-century London instruction book on Honiton bobbin lace, written under the pseudonym Devonia and published by the Bazaar in 1875 for amateur lacemakers. Its pictures are plates of lace patterns, one a pale tonal print of a scrolled floral motif, one a dark-ground reproduction of a geometric border, and one a chapter opener with a lace motif above a rule and a chapter heading, offering a designer ready-made lace-derived ornament, border and frame ideas.
