L'honesto essempio del uertuoso desiderio che hanno le donne di nobil ingegno, circa la imparare i punti tagliati a fogliami
A facsimile reprint of a 1500s Venetian pattern book for needlework lace, issued in 1878 by the Venetian printer F. Ongania and aimed at women learning cut-work lace. The pictures are black-and-white woodcut-style strips of foliage and interlace, arranged in vertical bands on a grid, that a designer could borrow for border or panel patterns.
