This page from *Schön newes Modelbuch*, a 1608 pattern book by Sigismundus Latomus, is an example of woodcut printing. It showcases intricate designs for various decorative purposes, with a focus on geometric motifs. Three bands of patterns feature repeating circles, ovals, and rosettes with intricate lines and dots. The middle band also depicts three figures on horseback within decorative ovals. These designs provide inspiration for embroidery, woodworking, and other crafts, offering a glimpse into the intricate designs favored in early 17th century Europe.
