Théorie de la fabrication des étoffes de soie
A French technical manual on silk weaving by J. Claude Cussinet, published in 1841 for loom masters and textile manufacturers. Ruled point-paper diagrams in red, black and coloured dots plot warp and weft bindings, each plate paired with a mounted swatch of figured or striped silk, giving designers grid systems, dot notation and repeat florals.
