If not, it would be nice if someone would publish, in English, a book or booklet about Uthmann that everyone could be able to purchase. The operative word here is English!
It is possible that no books on this subject are published in English. Annaberg is situated Eastern Germany, originally DDR. As main foreign language Russian was taught there and not English. Of course this probably has changed, but still especially elderly people don't speak English. Furthermore it is expensive to have books translated and the German market is that big that there is no need for it. The problem is most of the time, that you need a native English speaker who knows German and lace to have German lace books translated. I don't know if the German Lace organisation has members in Britain or the USA. The books I have on Barbara Uthmann and/or Schneeberg lace are written in German or Dutch. So I can't help you directly. Happy lacing, Gon Homburg, Amsterdam, The Netherlands, where fall is coming. - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.
