Morning Modelbuch (8/18/2019)

I love how the little animals that turn up in Egenolff and several of the other books are utilized in this pillow cover in the Royal Ontario Museum. The gold threads elevate the patterns that I tend to think of as slightly goofy and cartoon-like. I also enjoy that it uses several of the birds. Object number: 923.19 https://collections.rom.on.ca/objects/526722/decorative-pillow-sham-bere

The patterns may well have come from Gessner, or Tagliente, but they are also like these from Christian Egenolff’s 1532 _Modelbuch aller Art Nehens vn Stickens_ https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/681535
