Old Research Lace Study Sheet - Early Machine Lace

A stunning study sheet of collected early machine lace examples.  I purchased  a few of these sheets and as tempting as it was to remove the samples and sell separately I have decided for now to sell as found.

This is from a collection that may have been curated by a student from the Manchester School of Art - Needlework.  There is a name and address on one of the sheets I purchased.  A Mrs Travis 366 Bury Road in Rochdale. 

Mounted on sugar paper that is a dark charcoal grey. Lace is in good condition. All hand stitched to the paper.

There is a title in pen enclosed by sellotape that has discoloured over time. 

Full page measures 59cm x 28cm and will arrive folded as found.
