Het vermakelijck landt-leven : bestaende in de volgende deelen ..
A 1669 Amsterdam gardening and rural-life book published by Marcus Doornick, compiled from earlier Dutch garden and landscape writings for a general readership of landowners and gardeners. Its pages show printed plates headed Modellen van Bloem-percken, with rectangular panels of parterre and flower-bed patterns in the Dutch manner; a designer might take from them the interlacing strapwork, scrolled acanthus-like foliage and repeating rosette grids as ready-made ornament for borders, tiles or textile repeats.
