A 1609 Frankfurt pattern book by Daniel Meyer (1576-1630), published by the de Bry brothers, offering framing designs for doors, windows and ceilings to painters, carvers, stonemasons and joiners. The plates are engraved, each a single architectural frame or ornamental panel with its plate number at the foot. A designer can take the layered scrollwork, pediments, caryatid-like terms and cartouches as ready structures for borders, mirror frames or title pages.
