A 1921 photographic reprint of a Venetian pattern book of cutwork (punti tagliati) and knotted stitch designs, first printed by Matthio Pagan in 1550. After a dedication to Lucretia Roberta and the title page, the book consists almost entirely of full-page woodcut pattern grids of geometric and floral motifs for needle-worked cutwork and lace. It closes with a sonnet to virtuous women and the colophon, with the publisher's note about the 1921 reprint.
