A trilingual (German, French, English) weave-pattern encyclopedia by Franz Donat, with 300 plates showing 9,015 weave structures (Bindungen) as black-and-white drawdowns. The plates are arranged systematically: plain weave, rib and basket weaves, twills (fancy, broken, zigzag, pointed), satin and sateen, diagonals, diamond patterns, crepes, damask effects, and figured ribs. Text sections include the preface, an index of plates, and explanatory notes on how crepe and other patterns are derived by shifting twills and diagonals. This copy is a black-and-white version of the book.
