Die textile Kunst für sich betrachtet und in Beziehung zur Baukunst
An 1878 German treatise by Bruckmann, held by the ETH-Bibliothek, on textile art considered on its own and in relation to architecture, written for architects and craftsmen. Its pictures are line engravings of decorative surfaces: a patterned wall with checkerboard and geometric bands, a capital with scrolled volutes, and mosaic-like floors of interlocking lozenges, meanders and framed rosettes, which suggest how woven and built ornament share repeat, border and panel structure for surface pattern work.
