Newes Modelbuch in Kupffer (Page 26r) 1604

Johann Sibmacher's "Newes Modelbuch in Kupffer" (1604) is a printed book of embroidery designs, featuring intricate geometric and floral patterns for needlework. This particular page showcases two detailed stitch patterns, one with a repeating square motif, the other a more organic floral design. The book itself, part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, exemplifies the popularity of embroidery patterns in the early 17th century and the artistry involved in creating such detailed designs.
