Artist: Edward Atkinson Hornel
Title: Lace Makers, Ceylon
Date: 1908
Nationality: British
Pillow: roller pillows, on little legs, on the ground.
Bobbins: with bulbs on end, a fair number.
Comments: The lacemakers are kneeling on the ground, which I would find hard to do. Lacemaking seemed to be a communal activity there.
