Description: The Laces of Ipswich. The Art and Economics of an Early American Industry, 1750-1840. - - - DESCRIPTION & CONDITION:By Marta Cotterell Raffel. Published by the University Press of New England in 2003. In the late eighteenth century, Ipswich, Massachusetts boasted 600 lace makers in a town of only 601 households. Raffel places the Ipswich industry squarely within the wider context of eighteenth-century manufacture, economics, and culture. Identifying what differentiates Ipswich lace from other American or European lace, she explores how lace makers learned their skills, and how they combined a traditional lace making education with attention to market-driven changes in style. Showing how the shawls, bonnets, and capes created by the lace makers often designated the social position or political affiliation of the wearer, she offers a unique and fascinating guide to our material past. Softcover. 7"x10", 176 pages, 101 illustrations. Fine and clean.
