A 2002 work-in-progress bibliographic and biographical essay by Ralph Griswold on E. A. Posselt (1858-1921), Austrian-born textile author, teacher and publisher in Philadelphia. It summarizes his career and lists his two book series (Posselt's Textile Library and Hand Books of the Textile Industry) plus other titles, with editions, projected but unpublished volumes, his Textile Journal, and notes on availability. Appendices give full short and long citations, sample illustrations from the books (including a weave and Jacquard figures), and sample advertisements from Posselt's books.
