This woodcut from Sigismundus Latomus’s *Schön newes Modelbuch* features an intricate design composed of three rows of animals and birds rendered in black and white. Each row is enclosed in a geometric pattern, featuring a variety of animals and birds including deer, rabbits, a hunting dog, a falconer, a spiderweb, and a phoenix. The artwork is a testament to the detailed and complex designs that were popular in early 17th-century Germany, showcasing the skill and artistry of Latomus. This page from the book, *Schön newes Modelbuch* (meaning "Beautiful New Pattern Book") was meant to be a source of inspiration for craftspeople and artists, and it was likely used to create designs for embroidery, woodcarving, and other decorative arts.
