Hi Tamara
In 1629 the Dutch East India company ship, the 'Batavia' was sunk off
the coast of Western Australia. In 1994 the OIDFA published work by
Rosemary Shepherd and E. Spee-Van Oost on the lace found on the
wreck but I do not get that publication so am not sure what it says.
Late last year I wrote to the WA Museum requesting a scanned copy of
the 4 page pamphlet they made about the lace, including the pricking
by Rosemary Shepherd and they very kindly emailed me a copy. It is
over 800kb in size and as I can not remember if you are on broadband
or not I have put it on my website at
www.brandis.com.au/craft/lace/downloads/batavialace.pdf so that you
can take a look at it. Would it fall into the right era for SCA -
seeing as it was wrecked in 1629?
