Downton Lace
by Bertha Kemp
The author sets out comprehensively her knowledge of this lace which she first learned as a schoolgirl in 1917 in Downton, Wiltshire.
After a section on the basic stitches, the various traditional patterns - each with its sometimes quaint name such as "Egg & Rasher", "Cheese Cutter" and "Roll & Pat of Butter" - are fully described, graded as Introductory, Intermediate and Advanced".
Black-and-white photographs and clear working diagrams illustrate the patterns and techniques throughout.
In excellent, near new, condition. Original owner's name, etc on front endpaper
