This collection of woodcuts are by Venetian publisher Matteo Pagano (1515-1588) as presented in his 1563 book. These 20 plates of charted patterns are reproduced from an 1880 reprint of the 16th century original in my private collection, and have been slightly enlarged for ease of use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe classic borders and marvelously entwined repeating patterns from this early \"modelbuch\" can be easily adapted by modern needleworkers, and are a source of endless inspiration for creative embroiderers. Designs charted on graph paper are a universal language which can be translated into needlepoint, counted cross stitch, filet crochet and beadwork.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs with most antique needlework books, these charts do not include specific projects, color or stitching suggestions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 28\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.07 x 11.02 x 8.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 12, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51787391107360,"sku":"9798685279200","price":20.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/343972b353b821a3c627ab41ee7f58ff.webp?v=1780649281","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/matteo-paganos-fior-di-virtu-a-16th-century-modelbuch-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
