Handwritten draught and cording book of Cyrus Uhler of Lebanon, Pennsylvania, dated 1830. It consists almost entirely of hand-drawn weaving drafts and drawdowns, many with pattern names and numbers (e.g. Snowballs, Rose Cording, Table Lever Cording, Mad Dog, Patch Work) and German-language notes on threadings, tie-ups, treadling and Jacquard-type setups. Some pages bear dates or signatures, including an 1821 cartouche. The scan is a digital reproduction from Lebanon Valley College's Hiram Herr Shenk Collection, prepared by Ralph Griswold in 1999.
