A short museum-acquisition article by P. G. Trendell on two Milanese bobbin-lace panels with hunting scenes, given to the Victoria and Albert Museum by Louis Clarke. It compares them with the Brussels bobbin-lace coverlet of 1599 and discusses the figural motifs (Cupid, huntsmen, hounds, stags, lions, double-headed eagles). It also notes the diamond-shaped plaited mesh ground introduced in the late 17th century and differences between Italian and Flemish technique. Two photographic plates illustrate the panels.
