Part III of M. Jourdain's series on Arthur Blackborne's lace collection, devoted to rose point (raised Venetian needlepoint lace). The text first explains how rose point differs from later punto in aria in its conventional scroll design, raised relief, and elaborate brides (bar grounds). It then gives numbered catalogue entries (Nos. 31-47) for cravat ends once owned by Louis XIV, collars, cuffs, lappets, and borders, describing their designs, meshes, picots, and provenance. Four plates (VII-X) reproduce many of the pieces in black and white.
