A manual of weave construction; a systematic arrangement and explanation of the foundation and derivative weaves for harness looms
Ivo Kastanek's technical weaving manual, translated by Samuel S. Dale and published in Boston in 1903 for mill designers and loom operators working with harness looms. The plates are close-up halftone photographs of cloth swatches, printed as dense allover grain within plain rectangular borders, alongside grid-based weave drafts; useful as ready-made textile textures, screen patterns, and modular grid fills.
