EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the title page from Schon newes Modelbuch (Page 1r), a remarkable piece of art dating back to 1608. Created by an unknown artist, this design for lace and embroidery transports us to the 17th century Germany, where textile industry flourished. The intricate woodcut depicts a scene filled with both male and female figures engaged in various occupations within the textile trade. The gothic script adds an air of mystery and authenticity to this historical artifact. Among the individuals featured are Sigismundus Latomus, Sigismundus Maurer, Theodor Meurer, and many others whose names have been lost over time. As we gaze upon this image, we can't help but marvel at the skillful craftsmanship that went into creating such delicate lace patterns. It is a testament to the dedication and talent of those who worked tirelessly in this industry centuries ago. Preserved by The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this title page serves as a reminder of our rich heritage and industrial past. It offers us a glimpse into the lives of these hardworking men and women who contributed greatly to their country's economy through their profession. Whether you're an admirer of German history or simply fascinated by textiles, this print is sure to captivate your imagination with its timeless beauty.
