This woodcut print, part of a larger pattern book, showcases the intricate designs popular in the 16th century. Created by Johann Schönsperger the Younger, a prominent German artist, the page features a series of ornate borders, including stylized dragons, intertwined swords, and delicate floral motifs. The central panel displays a coat of arms, suggesting the practical use of these designs for personal and official documentation. "Ein ney Furmbüchlein" reflects a growing interest in decorative patterns during the Renaissance, with Schönsperger's work becoming a key resource for artists and craftspeople seeking inspiration.
