An Italian pattern album of 240 openwork lace designs in punto in aria (needle lace), compiled by Cleofe Mingarelli Ricci and published in Milan in 1909. After a short preface on the fashion for Aemilia Ars lace and the need for a practical collection of designs, the book consists of numbered plates of line-drawn square tiles, border strips, triangles and circular medallions. The author states that all designs have actually been worked.
