Lace-making was a typical cottage industry and could be carried out independently by women in their homes. The woman in the picture sits by the hearth in a cottage with a bolster-style pillow firmly stuffed with straw on her lap. She is interweaving bobbins in order to produce the lace. Lace-makers earned comparatively good wages, but only by working up to twelve hours a day, and consequently suffering poor health.
