From what I can tell, Cleveland has an excellent lace collection.

It would be wonderful to be able to go there and see it all.
Photographs from the Schiff Collection are featured throughout Ricci's
book Old Italian Lace, which has been republished by Dover. The Schiff
collection has a lot of laces that are identified in the book as being
from the 16th and 17th centuries.
I must see if I can get hold of this book; I'll ask my village librarian
when I see her today.
Peg, could we prevail upon you to launch a hunger strike on the steps of
the Cleveland Museum in an effort to get them to put photos of all their
lace on-line?

How about a virtual hunger strike, in exchange for virtual lace?
(I'd join that one!)
Do any of our clever members maintain a website which maps the various
lace collections of the world, with details of what can be found there?
We should pressure all of them to put photographs on-line.
Best wishes for Saint George's Day, and virtual red roses to you all,
from Linda Walton, (in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, England).
