La Pratique de l'Aiguille, page 56 (recto) 1605

Matthias Mignerak's *La Pratique de l'Aiguille, page 56 (recto)* from 1605 is a printed page depicting intricate lace patterns. The page features a detailed grid with two square sections showing a variety of floral motifs within the grid, and two vertical bands along each side with more elaborate patterns. These detailed lace designs illustrate a specific technique, and the work served as a guide for needlepoint lace-makers in the 17th century, offering instruction and inspiration for their creations. The print demonstrates the meticulous and artistic nature of needlepoint lacemaking and is a valuable document of the craft's evolution.
