Two plates of illustrations of Italian lace from The Book of the Fair, the account of the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago. The first plate shows six numbered lace pieces with floral and scrolling designs in needle and bobbin-style lace. The second has three photographs: two interior views of Italian lace displays (a tall ornate stand with lace panels, and a glass-fronted cabinet with a lace-hung wall) and a piece captioned as the Queen of Italy's point d'Argentan.
