Morning Modelbuch (11/4/2018)

This paper cut book doesn’t have quite the same connection to lace patterns as the one I posted yesterday, but as I mentioned it, I thought I’d post it.

It’s cut paper with colored pieces of silk sandwiched between the pages. Made by an Andalusian Dominican friar for Philip III. Dated about 1600. Owned by Dartmouth. Here’s an article about the manuscript. https://www.dartmouth.edu/~library/Library_Bulletin/Nov1995/LB-N95-Cronenwett.html
