A 1977 reprint by the Southern California Handweavers' Guild of Mary Meigs Atwater's 1925 publication of 77 pattern drawings from the John Landes pattern book, a Revolutionary-period weaver's book in the Frishmuth Collection at the Pennsylvania Museum. Each page reproduces a Landes drawing with Atwater's threading draft and tie-up for Summer & Winter and Double weaves. Many pages also give a four-harness overshot threading, and a few give six-, ten- or fourteen-harness overshot threadings. The book is in four parts, each ending with notes that give treadlings for the overshot patterns not woven as drawn in and comment on suitability for overshot. A foreword describes the Landes book and Atwater's method.
