Book Description

Excerpt from Jacquard Weaving and Designing The contents of the following pages have been derived from a long course of art and technical training, together with a lengthened practical experience in textile manufacturing and designing; during which time I received much valuable assistance from many kind friends - especially Mr. B. Ashenhurst, when master of the Belfast Technical School, and his brother, of Bradford; also Mr. John Mitchell, of Belfast and Glasgow - which I thankfully acknowledge. To supply a treatise that would be alike suitable to the manu facturer, the workman, and the student would be a difiicult matter. To explain each point so fully that it would be clear to every person would make it wearisome to those having a knowledge of the subject. I have therefore endeavoured to keep the descriptions as concise as is com patible with a fairly clear explanation, which I hope will be considered the wisest plan to adopt; and, while quite aware of the many short comings of the work, I venture to hope that it will prove a valuable assistance to those wishing to improve their knowledge of jacquard weaving and designing.
