Musterbuch [Pattern Book]
Wilhelm Kiel · 1840
Manuscript · 33 pages · German · weaving drafts
A German weaver's pattern book (Musterbuch) made for Wilhelm Kiel of Langenholzhausen and dated 26 April 1840. It consists of a decorative title page, photographs of loose damaged woven pattern samples, and many large drawdown grids of geometric patterns in black and white or gray: crosses, checks, stepped and diamond motifs, rosettes, and striped plaid-like layouts. A few pages carry notes of warp and weft thread counts or lengths. The scan is landscape and mostly image-based with almost no legible text.
