Encyclopedia Britannica (11th ed.) entry on diaper, covering the word's derivation, the fabric, and the use of diaper patterns in architecture and decoration. It then describes diaper weaving as small diamond patterns in linen or cotton built on a base weave of three-thread floats. Two diamond drawdowns (A and B) illustrate concentric black and white figures, with a strip showing the interweaving. It also covers bird's-eye and pheasant's-eye diapers and their use in nursery diapers, towels and tablecloths.
