ABOUT







Giovanni Ostaus

German publisher of La Vera Perfettione del Disegno di varie sorte di ricami (Venezia, 1561), an embroidery guide typical of the Renaissance "lace books". Ostaus's alphabets look like modern digital pixel fonts, drawn on a very fine grid. Read here about more lace pattern books from the 16th century.
