Prikking vastgeregen op een dubbele lap katoen en met traceerdraden voor het maken van een deel van een kraag van naaldkant c. 1915s

This delicate, hand-drawn pattern, created by a Belgian internee at Village Elisabeth around the 1910s, showcases a intricate design for needle lace. Featuring a delicate flower motif with trailing leaves, the design is meticulously outlined in ink on a piece of cotton fabric, ready to be meticulously stitched. The intricate geometric lines outlining the flower and leaves are likely the "traceerdraden" (tracing threads) mentioned in the title, suggesting the artist's intention to create a refined piece of needle lace. This piece offers a glimpse into the creative endeavors of those interned during the First World War, highlighting their resilience and dedication to artistic pursuits even in challenging circumstances.
