Morning Modelbuch (8/18/2020)

Pattern from Willem Vorsterman’s _Ce est ung tractat de la noble art de leguille ascavoir ouvraiges de spaigne_. Dated after 1527. I don’t link Vorsterman often as he just republished Quentel, but it does have it’s own Lotz number. Quentel is #3, Vorsterman is #4. https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/358594
