Ein new getruckt model Büchli...Page 15, verso 1529

This page from a 1529 printed book by Johann Schönsperger the Younger features a variety of embroidery patterns, including stylized letters, geometric shapes, and floral motifs. This example of *“musterschnitte”* (pattern cutting) was popular in the early 16th century as a means to disseminate embroidery designs. These printed patterns are considered to be a form of *“proto-fashion design”* and were used for a variety of needlework projects. The patterns on this page are a testament to the skill and artistry of Schönsperger, whose works are still admired today.
