Sigismundus Latomus, a German artist who lived from 1599 to 1632, created the *Schon newes Modelbuch von sechshundert aussewehlten kunstlichen so wol Italianischen, Frantzosischen, Niderlandischen, Englandischen als Teutschen Modeln allen Syedenstichern, Nahterin und solcher Arbeit gefliessenen...Getruckt in Franckfurt am Mayn*. This 1617 book, now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, showcases a collection of patterns for embroidery, lace, and other needlework. The cover itself is a simple, unadorned brown fabric, typical of the era, emphasizing the beauty of the intricate designs within. The inscription reveals the book's intended audience - embroiderers, seamstresses, and others skilled in needlework. Its contents, while not visible in the image, likely offer a glimpse into the popular embroidery styles of the early 17th century.
