Ein new getruckt model Büchli...Page 16, verso 1529

"Ein new getruckt model Büchli..." (A New Printed Model Book) is a pattern book from 1529 by German artist Johann Schönsperger the Younger. This page, part of a larger volume, features three rows of intricate geometric designs, intended to be used as inspiration for needlework. This example shows the versatility of the book, as it would have appealed to a wide audience interested in decorative arts. The work's precise lines and detailed patterns offer a glimpse into Schönsperger’s mastery of woodblock printing, a technique he used throughout his career.
