Les Secondes Oeuvres, et Subtiles Inventions De Lingerie du Seigneur Federic de Vinciolo Venitien, page 61 (recto) 1603

"Carré de point de rebord, de 55. mailles" is a page from Federico de Vinciolo's *Les Secondes Oeuvres, et Subtiles Inventions De Lingerie du Seigneur Federic de Vinciolo Venitien*, a 1603 collection of embroidery patterns that was a key source for the development of needlework techniques. This page depicts a design for a delicate tree with birds, flowers, and leaves to be rendered in needlepoint stitch, the grid indicating the number of stitches needed. The "point de rebord," or "stitch of the edge," is a technique that creates a raised pattern in the fabric, allowing the embroidery to stand out from the background. The work provides a glimpse into the intricate craftsmanship and artistic creativity of the 17th century.
