Hello Lorelei —— I went back to my old books in the hunt for "Venetian" lace, most notably "Point and Pillow Lace" by A.M.S. published in 1899 (no clue as to who "A.M.S." was), and also to "Old Lace" by M. Jourdain, published in 1909; and both of them appear to have in mind mostly Venetian Rose Point and its var- ious relatives (all needle laces). The books themselves are delightful, partic- ularly the Jourdain, full of beautiful plates. This is a book that one cannot put down without first looking at every page, no matter how late the evening is getting to be!
