Book · 137 pages · French · weaving drafts
This is the atlas volume of Constant Grimonprez's Tissage Analysé, published in Saint-Quentin in 1878. It consists almost entirely of engraved and colored plates, numbered Figs. 1 to 252, that show weave analysis diagrams: threading (remettage), tie-up (montage), treadling (marchure) and drawdowns (mise en carte). The plates progress from loom parts and basic plain weave, twills and satins to multi-harness structures, pile and velvet weaves, double cloth, gauze (gaze) and Jacquard arrangements. The last plates show mechanical loom details such as cams, eccentrics, gearing and multi-shuttle weft insertion. A short errata for the figures is included.
