This page from Johann Sibmacher’s "Newes Modelbuch in Kupffer" (1604) features a detailed engraved design for decorative needlework. The page is divided into three sections showing various repeating geometric patterns for embroidery. The intricate floral and geometric motifs demonstrate the popularity of this type of design in the early 17th century. "Newes Modelbuch in Kupffer" served as a sourcebook for artisans and provided inspiration for the production of embroidered textiles and decorative objects.
