Schon newes Modelbuch...Page 9(r) 1617

This is a page from the pattern book *Schon newes Modelbuch*, published in 1617 and created by the German artist Sigismundus Latomus (1599-1632). It showcases a grid of 12 intricate lace patterns, a testament to the artistic skill and innovation of the era. The book was intended as a guide for lace makers and demonstrates the popularity of this decorative art form in the early 17th century. This page, now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, offers a glimpse into the world of textiles and design in the period.
