Devon, Quite a few of the handkerchiefs that were donated by the Duchesse de Richelieu, in memory of the Princess Alice of Monaco, in 1963, were of interest, largely because I couldn't see an obvious join in most of them. Several had flat corners: e.g., 63.196.17. In the ones with gathered corners, I'd be interested again in the join and if it was "hidden" in the gathers: e.g., 63.196.3. I noted the accession numbers of several others in that donation as ones to look at, but stopped making detailed notes because I couldn't tell much from the photos: 63.196.2, 63.196.1, 63.196.16. Others not in that donation: 59.62.7, 41.14.16, 08.47.27, 54.94.3, and 41.14.15.
The one that impressed me out of that batch donated was 63.196.12, a figural Binche, but there the join was obvious (I think). Your photos on ning IOLI are very good. That piece was one I had noted, and thought it looked like the corners all had a seam. Some of the needle lace handkerchiefs are quite distracting. :-) I really regret being totally unable to do satisfactory needle lace.
