An illustrated promotional brochure for the Jesurum lace firm of Venice, written in Italian. It gives a short history of Venetian lace from its 15th-century origins through the patronage of the dogaressa Morosina Grimani, the decline of the craft, and its revival in the 19th century by Michelangelo Jesurum and Paulo Fambri, with lace-making centered on Venice, Burano and Pellestrina. Illustrations include old prints, portraits, views of Burano and Pellestrina, the Jesurum workshop, and photographs of lace samples (Punto di Venezia, Burano, Argentan, Milano a fuselli, gaze), plus a map of Venice showing the shop location and nearby hotels.
