The History Of Honiton Lace Industry by Hj Yallop
Honiton lace is one of the world's great laces and this book for the first time tells the full story of the industry that produces it, from its beginnings in the sixteenth century to its demise in the twentieth. Over 100 photographs illustrate the history of design in Honiton lace as well as the technical aspects of manufacture. There is an intensive bibliography which is the most comprehensive in the field yet to appear and forms a useful source of reference.
This is a satisfying study, provoking much thought on domestic industries of the past, and perhaps of the future too(Business History) I highly recommend it not only to lacemakers . . . But also to anyone interested in textiles or the social and historical aspects of cottage industries. (Canadian Lacemaker Gazette) Dr Yallop's book is a treasure chest filled with new clues for those who approach lace as a fascinating puzzle. (The Lace Collector)
