This print takes us back to the bustling John Heathcoats factory in Tiverton, England on a crisp autumn day in 1949. The image beautifully captures the intricate art of lace making, a skill that has been passed down through generations.

The air is filled with anticipation as each woman meticulously tends to her task, ensuring that every piece meets the high standards set by John Heathcoats himself.
