A plate book of weave designs for ribbons and broad silk goods by Emil Jansen of Paterson, N.J. Nearly all pages are numbered drawdown grids, starting with satin weaves from 4 to 40 shafts and drafts showing different drawings from one sample. They continue through 'Divers Dispositions for Ribbons & Broad Silk Goods' arranged by repeat size (7 to 39 shafts, with picks repeats up to 50), then grounds for Jacquard work, dispositions for rolly and pico-edged ribbons, and a section on change for shuttles. There is very little prose, so the book works as a pattern reference for silk and ribbon weave structures.
