A 1910 Leipzig doctoral dissertation on the Saxon tambour curtain embroidery industry in the Vogtland and Erzgebirge regions. It traces the industry's history from hand tambour work to machine embroidery from the late 1860s, describes the techniques and machines, and follows the production process of tambour and Spachtel curtains. It also examines the finishing trade (Veredelungsverkehr) with Austria/Bohemia, tariffs, the groups of producers (manufacturers, putting-out contractors, tambour workers), wages, labour organisation and sales markets, especially the USA. Appendices give export statistics and the organisation of the manufacturers' associations.
