Dear Lacemakers, For Inspiration -- a drop-dead fantastically beautiful book of antique lace fans, I refer you all to:
"Ventagli della collezione Cesari" by Franco Maria Ricci, 1999, ISBN 88-216-0947-2, about $40. It is over-sized and comes boxed. In Italian, but has English and French translations in the back. Pictures of the fans are full-size or larger. If you are making a fan for an exhibition or contest, I urge you to try to borrow this book through the InterLibrary Loan program in your country. (May be called by a different name.) Ask your local librarian to obtain it for you. You will not be disappointed. Promise. If anyone needs to look at this at the IOLI convention, let me know by Wednesday, and I will put it in my closet on wheels (automobile).
