*"Newes Modelbuch in Kupffer (Page 8r)"* (1604) by Johann Sibmacher (1590-1611) is a page from a printed pattern book for embroidery. The page contains a poem in German about the art of embroidery, which was a popular pastime for women in the 17th century. The poem praises the skill of embroiderers and encourages them to continue their craft. The page is framed by a decorative border of floral motifs, which was a common feature in printed pattern books of the period. The page is now part of the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
