Morning Modelbuch (8/22/2020)

I really think the gorgeous patterns in Vinciolo’s second book aren’t used often enough. I’m sure it is because the first book is so available. _Les Secondes Oeuvres, et Subtiles Inventions De Lingerie du Seigneur Federic de Vinciolo Venitien_, originally published in 1594, Lotz #128 http://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/358421

Some of the patterns turn up in a gorgeous “Cloth with Floral and Vegetal Patterns” dated between 1560-1600 in the Cleveland Museum of Art, inventory number 1923.995. https://www.clevelandart.org/art/1923.995
