Elena, as far as I know it’s somewhere in 20th century that diagrams started perhaps at the time like color code. In some regions in former time the lacemaker had little pieces of the original lace they had to work. When you see old prickings thick paper or sometimes leather it’s not easy to find out which sort of lace it belonged to. And on some you were able to make different sorts of lace. Others are so often used that’s impossible to make any proper lace.
