A 1908 French-language study by Pierre Verhaegen on the revival of Venetian needle lace and the lace school at Burano, founded in 1872 by Countess Andriana Marcello after a hard winter left the island's fishing families destitute. It covers the school's origins, organization, staff, apprenticeship and the seven work sections, wages, bookkeeping, mutual aid society, marketing and prices, and the types of lace made (Burano, Venise a reliefs, point de rose, Argentan, Alencon). Photographic plates show lace flounces, collars and panels made at the school, and a closing table gives the number of workers and net sales from 1878 to 1906.
