An 18th-century German pattern book for linen and figure weavers by Johann Michael Kirschbaum, master weaver of Heilbronn, published in 1771 with engraved plates. It presents drafts (Zug und Tritt) for 'gesteinte' patterns on 10 to 30 shafts, plus broken (gebrochen) patterns, 'Hin- und Wieder' (point-style) patterns, and 'gezäckelte' (zigzag/serpentine) patterns. Separate plates give the tie-ups (Schnürungen) for damask and twill grounds, figure-and-ground tie-ups, and fully broken threadings and treadlings. The German preface and explanatory sections describe threading, treadling, reed sleying and how to combine and adapt the tie-ups.
