A propos de cet article

Two volumes with 264 pages and 133 pages but printed on one side only in both volumes & with 50+ small swatches of various woven coloured or patterned cloth to accompany patterns and diagrams mounted throughout. Also litho engravings of machinery and mechanical weaving machines & parts showing models by Harling & Todd, Lupton and Places, Butterworth and Dickinson, Price of Burnley, G. Keighley,Pemberton, etc. Several from engravings by W. E. Sabin. This 2 volume set comprise the "FIRST" series complete and possibly the fullest and earliest examples as no others found in 2 vols, only single volumes format of fewer pages. There is also a typed 13 line note on the best use of the details with the authors signature in ink loosely inserted. The volumes are in two colours one brown and one purple, gilt embossed titles on covers, a small hole to spine edge on one and final endpaper missing from the slimmer volume, bottom edges to some pages trimmed close with slight loss to word edges. Uniform small quarto. No title pages in either, no publishers imprint, only the various lessons and chapters each having James Holmes facsimile signatures to the chapters. Date would appear to be 1910-1920. (More images can be sent on request, only 5 allowed here).
