  • Powerhouse Museum Lace Collection: Glossary of Terms Used in the Documentation – Blue Files and Collection Notebooks
    Book Appendix Glossary 12-02 Powerhouse Museum Lace Collection: Glossary of terms used in the documentation – Blue files and collection notebooks. Rosemary Shepherd: 1983 to 2003 The following references were used in the documentation. For needle laces: Therese de Dillmont, The Complete Encyclopaedia of Needlework, Running Press reprint, Philadelphia, 1971 For bobbin laces: Bridget M Cook and Geraldine Stott, The Book of Bobbin Lace Stitches, A H & A W Reed, Sydney, 1980 The principal historical reference: Santina Levey, Lace a History, Victoria and Albert Museum and W H Maney, Leeds, 1983 In compiling the glossary reference was also made to Alexandra Stillwell’s Illustrated dictionary of lacemaking, Cassell, London 1996 General lace and lacemaking terms A border, flounce or edging is a length of lace with one shaped edge (headside) and one straight edge (footside). The headside shaping may be as insignificant as a straight or undulating line of picots, or as pronounced as deep ‘van Dyke’ scallops. ‘Border’ is used for laces to 100mm and ‘flounce’ for laces wider than 100 mm and these are the terms used in the documentation of the Powerhouse collection. The term ‘lace edging’ is often used elsewhere instead of border, for very narrow laces. An insertion is usually a length of lace with two straight edges (footsides) which are stitched directly onto the mounting fabric, the fabric then being cut away behind the lace. Ocasionally lace insertions are shaped (for example, square or triangular motifs for use on household linen) in which case they are entirely enclosed by a footside. See also ‘panel’ and ‘engrelure’ A lace panel is usually has finished edges, enclosing a specially designed motif.

    Tom Fisher, Julie Botticello, Nottingham Trent University, Nottingham, United Kingdom. [email protected] 3D Representations of Heritage – understanding the Leavers lace machine through documents, ethnography and animation The lace industry in the East Midlands of the UK was a major feature of the local, and wider, economy from the invention of the ‘Leavers’ process in 1813 to the end of mass manufacturing of lace early in the 21st century. The industry grew out of innovations in machine knitting technology that date back to William Lee’s invention of the stocking frame in 1589. In 1816 it was exported to northern France, under conditions of trade embargo, where the industry grew in the towns of Calais and Caudry. In both Nottingham and northern France it generated parallel industries in machine manufacture and textile finishing. Three firms survive in the UK, and one of these is Cluny Lace in Ilkeston, near Nottingham http://www.clunylace.com . Although the industry has shrunk from approximately 2600 machines in the first decade of the twentieth century to the 16 that remain at Cluny Lace, this important part of the region’s industrial heritage does survive. Working closely with the company’s owners over some years, researchers at Nottingham Trent University have conducted research since 2009 to understand this heritage and effectively represent it as the important element in the region’s identity that it is. Collaborators in this work have included the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, as well as Nottingham’s City Museums and Galleries, which has some examples of Leavers machines in their Industrial Museum collection.

  • A Catalogue of Catalogues a MESSAGE from the KING of TAVISTOCK BOOKS: (Or; a MESSAGE from SOMEONE WHO THINKS HE Is the KING of TAVISTOCK BOOKS)
    Tavistock Books First Editions, Rare and Collectible Books A Catalogue of Catalogues A MESSAGE From The KING Of TAVISTOCK BOOKS: (Or; A MESSAGE From SOMEONE WHO THINKS HE Is The KING Of TAVISTOCK BOOKS): On pages 23 & 24 of Paul Leicester Ford’s FRANKLIN bibliography is listed one modest publication from 1744, a 16mo of 60 [ahem, 16] pages, a CATALOGUE OF BOOKS, wherein Mr Franklin offers “Near 600 Volumes in most Faculties and Sciences, ... [assuring] Those persons that live remote by sending their Orders and money to said B. Franklin, may depend on the same justice as if present.” An early American Trade Catalogue was this, one coveted by Lawrence B. Romaine, who states in the Introduction his GUIDE TO AMERICAN TRADE CATALOGS 1744 - 1900 [NY: 1960], that this little 1744 16mo was his holy grail, with “its real meaning to the history of the American mail order business, and its influence on the industrial development of the United States.” Trade catalogues are a window into history, documenting whatever product the manufacturer, or merchant, was selling. Their uses, for historians & others interested in accurately portraying times past, are manifest. Within this catalogue then are CATALOGUES. And SAMPLE BOOKS. Works that tell others what’s in, or was in, the works. Mostly American, with one special exception [see #40, and good luck finding another set of those]. Enjoy.
