Fiore D'Ogni Virtu Per le Nobili Et Honeste Matrone
A 1610 Italian pattern book, Fiore D'Ogni Virtu, attributed to Isabella Parasole and Elisabetta Catanea, offering lace and needlework designs for noblewomen and respectable matrons. The pictures are white-on-black printed lace patterns in rectangular panels, with repeating medallions, rosettes, scrolls and border strips that a designer could adapt for ornamental borders, textile repeats or decorative frames.
