Second part of M. Jourdain's catalogue of Arthur Blackborne's lace collection, covering later punto in aria, the flat needlepoint that moved from geometric designs to scrolls, flowers and human figures. It describes specimens 22 to 30 by size and design, including a long Venetian panel with the story of Judith and Holofernes (with a Portuguese inscription), a figured strip with mediaeval costumed figures, and pieces with a Persian sun motif. The author discusses Persian influence on Venetian lace design. Two pages of photographic plates show the Judith panel and Nos. 25, 28 and 29.
