A facsimile reprint, published in Dresden in 1880 by George Gilbers, of Christian Egenolff's 1527 Frankfurt pattern book for needlework and embroidery. It opens with a preface by Prof. Melchior zur Strassen of the Leipzig Kunstgewerbe-Museum and a publisher's note on the photolithographic reproduction. The rest is about 71 plates of woodcut ornament: scrolling foliage, interlaced knotwork, borders, birds and animals, and star motifs. These served as models for embroidery, lace and borders.
