This page from a pattern book, *Schön newes Modelbuch*, was printed in 1608 by Sigismundus Latomus. The book is a collection of designs for embroidery, and this page features a geometric design with repeating patterns and floral motifs. The delicate details of the design would have been created using needlepoint or other embroidery techniques, popular in the early 17th century. The print is a great example of the practical and artistic value of pattern books, which were essential for artisans and hobbyists alike during this period. *Schön newes Modelbuch* is a valuable resource for understanding the history of embroidery and textile design in Europe.
