A short illustrated article on Point de Venise à réseau, a Venetian needle lace with a square-mesh ground, and on old Burano point, its coarser descendant. It describes the design and workmanship of the laces, compares them with Brussels and Alençon lace, and outlines their history from about 1650 to the extinction of the industry in 1866. It also gives a description of how Burano point was worked on a pillow. Photographs of lappets in the Victoria and Albert Museum illustrate it, and footnotes quote Italian and French sources.
