A browsing guide to the patterns in Franz Donat's Large Book of Textile Designs, a late 19th-century pattern book. Small black-and-white drawdown thumbnails, derived from WIFs digitized by Kris Bruland, are grouped by size (width first) and labeled with the catalog numbers of the downloadable WIF files at handweaving.net. A short introduction by Ralph Griswold explains the organization, notes that a few duplicate patterns are included, and describes the book's two sections: 16 pages of color patterns and a longer black-and-white section.
