Re: [lace] Needle lace resources? Beeton
1. Has anyone found the Beeton book on the Arizona site? Please share particulars. I just took a quick look alphabetically by book author, and did not find it. The original is not in my library, or it would have been scanned. The Lulu reprint I have is dated 2007. By law, I do not believe this qualifies to be scanned. 2. This is a classic reference book. Does anyone have it, preferably in the U.S., and are you willing to let it be scanned? Disclosure: Some of my 19th C. books required spine repairs after they were scanned as part of getting the Arizona site up and running, which can be a hazard of this process. A small price to pay to bring lace information to many lace people around the globe at no cost to them. It serves little purpose to keep such books only to one owner. So much of our needlework history has been destroyed or is beyond reach! The lace section of the Arizona site was initiated here in Maine, and it would be very nice to have the Beeton book represented. For your privacy, please reply directly to me on this matter.

Eastern Daylight Time, jek...@bigpond.net.au writes: Beeton's Book of Needlework was originally published in Great Britain in 1870 by Ward, Lock and Tyler. A facsimile edition was first published in USA in 1986 by Exeter Books. It has a chapter on Point lace - machine made braids tacked to a pattern and the design completed with needle lace fillings (variations on button-hole stitch mostly). There are a few patterns - is this what you are looking for?

I'm looking for an online resource for needle lace circa 1860. When I checked the Arizona Digital Archives, the closest I found was Therese de Dillmont 1900 1910. There doesn't seem to be a search function on the Arizona site so while I tried to read thru all the descriptions, I may have missed some.
