Manuscript notes on weaving

Holmes, James, M.S.A · 1912 · [Burnley : Lupton Bros.] · 204 pictures

A 1912 textile trade handbook of manuscript weaving notes by James Holmes, printed by Lupton Bros. of Burnley for cotton-mill weavers and loom designers. The plates are point-paper draft diagrams: black-filled squares, crosses, dots and open cells on ruled grids, giving designers ready-made checkerboard patterns, dense pixel lattices and diagonal repeats in flat black and cream.
