Preamble

Surely, the field of antique Christmas ornaments and old Swiss embroideries shares nothing in common with the World Wide Web of nowadays, but that doesn’t exclude the possibility to use this modern instrument for gathering information about the named topics. I propose a few excursions to the Internet which seem to give helpful suggestions.
