Volume 2 of Elisa Ricci's study of Italian lace, covering the history of Italian bobbin lace and its regional centres, illustrated with several hundred numbered plates. The text opens with an introduction on the origins of bobbin lace, bobbins and pins, and early pattern books such as Le Pompe, then treats Venice, Genoa, Milan and the Abruzzi (Aquila, Pescocostanzo, Gessopalena, Offida) in turn. Each region has a text section followed by plates of edgings, insertions, fringes and collars, with captions giving date, design source and collection. Paintings showing lace are also reproduced, and there is a list of illustrations.
