Neu künstlich Modelbuch (page 7r) 1598

This page, from Bernhard Jobin's 1598 book, *Neu künstlich Modelbuch*, demonstrates a pattern for needlepoint embroidery. The pattern depicts two identical, stylized birds, flanking a central element. These elements are repeated across the page, creating a symmetrical and organized design. The image is a graphic representation of a stitch pattern, intended to be interpreted by embroiderers to create a textile piece. The design is characteristic of the intricate and decorative styles popular during the late Renaissance period, and this book would have been a valuable resource for embroiderers and needleworkers.
