Hi, I was reading the introduction to my book "Birds and Animals in Honiton Lace" by Saikoh Takano as I am (finally!) planning on making my first piece from that book. Anyway, in the introduction it mentions the Royal Albert Memorial Museum and the Sidmouth Museum and their "splendid collections of animal motifs in lace". I looked on the web and, though I found a little bit about each of the museums Saikoh mentions, there didn't seem to be any mention of the lace he refers to. Does anyone have any knowledge of these collections including whether they are still there? Any information would be gratefully received as I really like such lace - this was the first lace book I ever bought, back in the mid-1990s, even though I had absolutely no idea how to make any of it :-)
