The lady's name is Norma Benporath, an expert in tatting. She was one of the most prolific designers of tatting ever, and her stuff continued to be published during WWII for the morale of the women at home - a special paper allocation was made during wartime so her leaflet style book could be printed. The hard cover book "Every Woman's Complete Guide to Tatting Illustrated" was published after the war, in the early 1950's. Incidentally, I've been able to contact Sylvia at Hornsbys in the UK by email successfully - Sylvia says her fax at the moment seems to be able to send, but not receive! Thank you those who contacted me privately about how to get in touch with her.
