Morning Modelbuch (7/29/2019)

I don’t think I’ve shared this one before. It is another of the combinations of 16th century lace and patterns from the modelbucher assembled by Marian Hague. Accession number 38.185.4 https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/226383

Pattern from Giovanni Ostaus’ _La Vera Perfettione del Disegno di varie sorti di recami_1567. The page on the mount is upside down compared to the one in this edition. I’ve included a couple of additional patterns. Many of these are also in Pagano. Ostaus is a fun book with a wide selection of different styles of patterns and a nice one to have if you want a good survey. https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/354909
