Modelbuch aller Art Nehens vn Stickens (Page 4v) 1535

"Modelbuch aller Art Nehens vn Stickens" (Model Book of All Kinds of Sewing and Embroidery) is a page from a pattern book published in Frankfurt by Christian Egenolff in 1535. This page from the pattern book features a variety of designs, including floral motifs, geometric patterns, and figures of men. These patterns were meant to be used by craftspeople and home sewers, and are a valuable resource for understanding the styles and techniques of embroidery in the 16th century. The book exemplifies a trend in the early modern period of printed pattern books, reflecting the increasing accessibility of decorative arts for a wider audience.
