An atlas of 59 numbered plates (Taf. 1-59, Figs. 1-719) illustrating Schams' Handbuch der Weberei. It opens with plates of animal and plant fibres (sheep, goats, silkworm, cotton, flax, hemp, jute) shown with magnified fibres, then moves to hand looms, warping and preparation tools, and many plates of weave drafts (twill and related patterns, figured weaves, gauze and Dreher lace patterns, 7- and 8-shaft weaves). The later plates show Jacquard and dobby mechanisms, power looms from makers such as Lancaster (Accrington) and Engel (Chemnitz), warp-sizing machines, shuttles, brakes, shed and box motions, and weave-pattern cards. Only figure numbers and a few captions are printed; the explanatory text is in a separate volume.
