Morning Modelbuch (10/28/2018)

I think the thing I like most about this sampler is that someone made it into a handkerchief. Admittedly, that was probably at a later date though. Embroidered sampler dated about 1600 with whitework, cutwork, and blackwork. https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/221177

One of these days I’ll do a better job of tracking down better matches, but in the meantime here are some favorite fountains from Peter Quentel 1544 edition of Ein new kunstlich Modelbuch https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/354658
