A short pamphlet issued for the 1878 Paris Universal Exposition (Group IV, Class 36) on the origins of Venetian needle lace and the revived Burano lace school. It covers the dating of point de Venise, sumptuary laws, early exports, pattern-book bibliography, and noble patrons. It then describes how Louis XIV and Colbert drew on Venetian lacemakers to found the point de France industry at Alençon, Reims, Chantilly and elsewhere. The last section covers the Burano school founded in 1872, its pupils, medals, royal patronage, and the exhibited Pope Rezzonico lace.
