Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Art of Weaving, by Hand and by Power: With an Introductory Account of Its Rise and Progress in Ancient and Modern Times Many of our American weavers already possess sufficient skill and dexterity in several branches Of this, the most complex Of all arts, to prove dangerous rivals to those similarly engaged in other parts of the globe; but the field for improvement is still very ex tensive. In every quarter Of this vast country men of scientific genius are busy in applying those elementary and speculative prin ciples, which were formerly confined to the closet of the philosopher, to the grand purpose of social improvement. The great chain which connects theory with the useful arts, is rapidly extending, and it is impossible to anticipate what may be the result. The fabrication Of almost every species of cloth appears to have been carried on to a surprising extent in the ancient world and a knowledge Of the processes by which it was accomplished, together with the improvements made on many Of them since their intro duction into Europe, are objects of the first national importance, and no apology is necessary for our attempting a collection Of facts on the subject, embodying them with our own experience as a prac tical weaver and manufacturer, in England, Ireland, Scotland, France, Belgium, Prussia, &c., for nearly a quarter of a century.

Download or read book Theory and Practice of Damask Weaving Classic Reprint written by Heinrich Kinzer and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-20 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Theory and Practice of Damask Weaving The 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 briefly 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.
