A French atlas of textile weave structures (armures) compiled by B. Fressinet, honorary curator of the Musée des Tissus of Saint-Étienne. It consists of about 200 numbered plates of drawdown grids. The plates open with classical weaves: plain weave, rib (cannelé), twill, satin, double-face, reps, tubular fabrics, selvedges, bicolor weaves, and pile velvet. They then run through weaves arranged by number of threads (shafts) in the repeat, from 4 up to 20, and by number of picks (coups), from 4 to 80. The book is nearly all plates, with very little text apart from plate headings.
