Ok, back to this thread, my images loaded up overnight. #MFABoston #lace items.
I saw some of the earliest lace pattern books. One by Isabella Parasole 1625, and one by Cesare Vecellio 1591. They are smaller than I thought from the online prints I've seen.
A third lace pattern book was in another case nearby. Domenico da Sera's 1543 "Ornamento de le belle e virtudiose donne". This book was new to me, needs to get into #Wikipedia...
