Catalogue du Musée Fol
A Geneva museum catalogue of art objects compiled by Walther Fol and published by H. Georg in 1874, documenting the collection of the Musée d'art et d'histoire. The pictures are engraved and halftone plates of woven textile bands and borders, one showing a dense gothic-style vine and figure ornament with a standing saint, and others showing dark patterned silks with stylised animals and geometric lattices. A designer could take from them the tight repeat structure of medieval border strips and the high-contrast figurative textile motifs.
