Three of Lewis F. Day's Text Books of Ornamental Design bound together: The Anatomy of Pattern, The Planning of Ornament, and The Application of Ornament. The books explain how repeating patterns are built on square, diamond, triangle, hexagon, circle and ogee plans, how drop repeats work for weavers and printers, how borders and panels are laid out, and how material, tool and process shape ornament. Roughly 130 full-page plates show diapers, damasks, Sicilian silk, tapestry, velvet, wall-paper, tile, stencil and carved examples. The text is general design theory and has no weaving drafts, though it often refers to the loom and to textile repeat.
