Part I of M. Jourdain's article on Venetian needlepoint lace in The Connoisseur. It covers lace-making as a private and convent enterprise in Venice, the shift from geometric cutwork to curved designs around 1600, the vague use of the term punto in aria, and the features of rose point: conventional pomegranate-scroll designs, raised relief over padded threads, button-hole stitch, and bride grounds. It also discusses pieced specimens with lost brides. Illustrated with plates of laces and embroideries, mostly from the Victoria and Albert Museum and private collections.
