Schön newes Modelbuch (Page 20r) 1608

"Schön newes Modelbuch (Page 20r)" is a 1608 woodcut by Sigismundus Latomus. This intricately patterned design is characteristic of Latomus's work and highlights the intricate nature of 17th century textile design. This page, likely from a larger pattern book, showcases a repeating motif of stylized flowers and leaves, intended to be used as a guide for embroidery, knitting, or lace-making. The piece, currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, provides insight into the intricate design and craftsmanship of the era.
