Volume 1 of Elisa Ricci's history of Italian lace, published in English by William Heinemann in 1913. It traces needlework and lace from early openwork linen through lacis (modano), drawn-thread work, buratto, reticello and punto in aria (including Venice and Burano point), with a section on ivory stitch and macramé. The volume is heavily illustrated with numbered photographs of museum and private-collection pieces, with captions giving date, technique and owner, and it also covers old pattern books such as Vecellio, Parasole and Ostaus. It includes an introduction, an appendix with plates and a list of illustrations.
