Cotton weaving: its development, principles, and practice

Marsden, Richard, 1837-1903 · 1895 · London, G. Bell & sons · 2 pictures

A technical manual on cotton weaving by Richard Marsden, published in London by G. Bell & Sons in 1895 for mill managers, overlookers, and textile students. The plates are wood-engraved machine portraits — boilers with gauges and riveted seams, a Coleby reel on cast-iron legs — drawn in three-quarter view with dense hatching, numbered figure captions, and cast shadows on blank ground, useful for cutout machine silhouettes and engraved metal texture.
