A 1891 Berlin facsimile (Ernst Wasmuth) of Elisabetta Catanea Parasole's 1616 Roman pattern book, Teatro delle nobili et virtuose donne. A short German preface describes the book, followed by the Italian title page and dedication to Elisabeth of Bourbon, Princess of Spain. The rest is plates of white-on-black designs: punto in aria and reticella needle lace, combined embroidery and openwork (punto reale e reticella), bobbin lace with bobbin counts (piombini), and filet/netting patterns (lavori di maglia).
