A short 1913 trade-journal article, translated from the German Textile Zeitung, describing Dr. Erwin Quedenfeldt's photographic method for generating textile designs. A camera fitted with a special apparatus reproduces an image in multiple, kaleidoscope-like repeats without mirrors. Source objects include crystals, minerals, agate, marble, butterfly wings and flowers. Eight halftone figures show the resulting patterns, and the text notes that cutting the specimen produces many variations. The article does not cover weaving drafts.
