Bobbin Lace

EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image from the Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection, showcasing the art of lace making in the early 1900s. The vintage scene transports us to a bygone era, where intricate and delicate lace was painstakingly crafted by skilled artisans. The photograph, likely captured on a lantern slide for projection, depicts a woman intently focused on her work. Her hands deftly maneuver the bobbins, each one holding a delicate thread, as she weaves intricate patterns into a growing piece of lace. The table before her is cluttered with various tools of the trade - bobbins, needles, and a small basket filled with lace pieces. The Victorian and Edwardian eras are known for their love of lace, which adorned clothing, tablecloths, and even undergarments. Lace making was a popular pastime for women, often done in the evenings by the firelight. The intricacy and beauty of the lace were a testament to the patience and skill of the maker. This photograph is a rare glimpse into the past, offering a window into a time when craftsmanship and artistry were highly valued. It invites us to appreciate the beauty and history of lace making, a tradition that continues to captivate and inspire us today.
