A short note from the Bulletin of the Needle and Bobbin Club describing two pieces of Venetian gros point needlepoint lace newly acquired by Richard C. Greenleaf, a charter member living in France. The lace has tiny figural scenes in the cartouche-like scrolls, including Daphne turning into a bay tree, episodes from Cupid and Psyche, musicians, and a huntsman. It relates the pieces to a collar in the Metropolitan Museum studied earlier in the Bulletin by Margaret Taylor Johnstone, whose stitch was attributed to Ragusa. The scan also includes a plate of a fourteenth-century German embroidery with identified biblical scenes.
