Excerpt from Theory and Practice of Damask WeavingThe different technicalities of damask weaving have not yet been the subject of an exhaustive treatise.So far only scattered articles in books and trade papers have dealt with this department of textile manufacture. The books treat brie¿y of the principles of the art, the journals give minute descriptions of novelties in looms. A desire has therefore been expressed by manufacturers of damask to possess a manual in which the present condition of the industry. Is fully dealt with. This work is intended to respond as fully as possible to this desire, for it instructs not only in the simple applications of Jacquard weaving to the industry, but in, the accessory processes which it has been found advantageous to add.The fabrics mentioned in illustration of the theoretical part of the work have been made from original patterns, and will contribute to a general comprehension of the whole subject.In the same way, the figures given in the text and in the plates will much facilitate the understanding of the methods and give a general view of the matters treated of.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
