Historic textile fabrics: a short history of the tradition and development of pattern in woven & printed stuffs
Historic textile fabrics is a 1923 survey of woven and printed fabric patterns by Richard Glazier, drawn from Heidelberg University Library's holdings and written for students and makers of textiles. Its plates show historic damask, brocade and printed ornament in black and white, with scrolling floral repeats, stylised tulips and pomegranate motifs, and paisley-like cones; a designer can take from them tested repeat structures and motif arrangements for modern surface pattern.
