Les singuliers et nouveaux pourtraicts, pour toutes sortes d'ouvrages de lingerie
A late sixteenth-century pattern book of lace and linen-work designs by Federico de Vinciolo, published in Paris by Jean Le Clerc in 1603 for embroiderers and lacemakers. Its plates are square blocks of geometric and floral openwork motifs printed on pages with mirrored running headers, offering a designer ready-made repeat patterns with arches, rosettes and scrolls.
