Vinciolo, Federico de · 1588 · 18 pictures

A 1588 French pattern book by the Venetian-born designer Federico Vinciolo, dedicated to the queen, offering needlework and lace patterns for linen work. The pictures are woodcut-style charts and lace designs: square counted-thread grids with stitch counts printed above, and dense geometric and scrolling motifs in black and white. A designer could take from them the early modern logic of counted grids and the repeating square-based ornament of lace borders.
