An installment of a series on Jacquard design from Posselt's Textile Journal, March 1918, explaining how the circle can serve as the geometric base for textile patterns. It describes stripe designs and figures built from circles with a compass (a five-petaled flower, overlapping circles, a Japanese fan motif, linked circles with pendants) and notes their use in dress goods, table linen and damasks. The second page carries other journal items, including pieces on the Knowles Fancy Worsted Loom and a new service flag, and a scalloped pattern design and carpet design illustration.
