I’m browsing through the definitions of lace types and wishing I could locate more than a few of the books listed as having been exhibited in _Guide to Old and New Lace in Italy – Exhibited at Chicago in 1893_ by Countess di Brazza. It is a free ebook or can be read online via Archive or Google Books (or several others.)
