Morning Modelbuch (7/9/2019)

I happen to be an inveterate fabric block printer, so I adore the point where printed fabric and embroidery patterns intersect. In addition to printing the books of patterns, some printers printed directly on to linen and sold the fabric as sort of a kit, ready to embroider. I find them reminiscent of the animal pages in the books like these from Iehan Ruelle’s 1554_Patrons pour brodeurs, lingieres, massons, verriers & autres gens d’esprit_ https://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/btv1b8613385w/f4.image
