1. Absolutely! There are patterns for near every era. The trouble is that it will take some searching on your part. Go to http://www.crochetpatterncentral.com/directory/women.php for free patterns and start browsing. Names with words like "lacy," "rose," etc are probably a good place to start.
2. public libraries and museums and universities or if you have a guild for needlework in your area they might be able to help you most crochet would be for vests for that time period.plain crochet stitches would have been used unless you were of the noble rank because of the time spent and the yarns used for the fancy things
