Second article in a series on the development of lace, from Antiques, July 1922. It traces the Italian progression from cutwork to reticella to punto in aria (needle lace), then compares the parallel development of Venetian and Genoese bobbin lace. The text draws on sixteenth- and seventeenth-century pattern books such as Ostaus, Le Pompe and Parasole, and is illustrated with fifteen figures of laces from the Cleveland Museum collections.
