A single page from the May 1917 issue of Posselt's Textile Journal presenting an installment of the serialized "Dictionary of Weaves." It shows two large blocks of black-and-white weave drawdowns, one for sixteen-harness weaves (16 x 16 and 16 x 8) and one for twelve-harness weaves (12 x 24 and 12 x 12). A note explains that the dictionary appears monthly, collects weaves taken from market fabrics in cotton, wool, worsted and silk, and is planned to total over 30,000 practical weaves for mill designers and superintendents.
