At Helen Hough’s suggestion, I emailed the MAK regarding their copy of Lotz 1, Schonsperger’s _Furm oder modelb?chlein_. I received a reply from the the deputy head of the library and works on paper collection very quickly. There’s both good and bad news. The really great news is that the museum plans to have their entire collection of old and rare books open and on the website this year! The not so great news is that, because of the restoration going on at the museum, they will only be scanning 3 images from each of the books in the collection right now. I did offer to see if I could pay to have it done, but they just don’t have the staff available right now. However, they were kind enough to send me copies of the scanned pages. Since they are putting their rare books online (which has to be a huge project,) there is certainly a possibility that having the entire book available may happen in the future.

Of the 3 images, one is just a blank inside cover, but there is the title page and one page of patterns.
