Hello All,
it's a bit late, I know, but I want to send you my thaughts about this
subject too.
In my opinion we should stop to look about those old books and the
terminologie in there. the vocabulary of lace has changec a lot since
the book of Mincoff and others. And it makes things only more
complicate if we stack to them.
I told you once the story I found in an English lace book from about
1880. There is written Barbara Uthman invented lacemaking. She lived
in Harz mountain. The thruth is, she doesn't invent anything about
lacemaking. She forced the people in Erzgebirge to learn lacemaking
for earning their living. ANd she szcced in this. And she is born and
lived in Erzgebirge not in the Harz Mountain.
Hoping that I could convince you.
Greeting
Ilske
