Jean mentioned Queen Victoria's Coronation robes. Oddly enough there is a painting of her in her coronation robes in the Met, in the American Wing. I know I have spent some time looking at it for possible inclusion in the "Lace Walk" and rejected it. I think my decision was that it was not lace. However, the decision could just have easily have been that it was lace, but not sufficiently distinctly painted to deserve inclusion. I don't seem to be able to find the picture on the website and it is not in any of my books, but if someone has a book of American Paintings from the Met, it might be there. Devon
