Corona delle Nobili et Virtuose Donne: Libro I-IV, page 104 (recto) 1601

This woodcut print from Cesare Vecellio's *Corona delle Nobili et Virtuose Donne* (Crown of Noble and Virtuous Women), depicts a variety of ornate lace patterns. Created in 1601, the image features a series of elaborate borders, each with a different design, showcasing the intricate geometric and floral motifs popular in Venetian lacework during the Renaissance period. This page, along with the other pages of the book, provided inspiration and practical guides for needlework, particularly for women of noble birth who were expected to be skilled in embroidery and other decorative arts. The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York houses this print as part of its collection.
