Le textile de Lyon
A periodical about Lyon's silk and textile trade from 1879, published in Lyon for those in the textile industry. The four pictures are mechanical line drawings of a loom-like frame with pulleys and gears, a glass vessel with a tube and flask, and a printed statistics table of bales of silk and wool by country. Designers can take from them the precise, ruled diagram style of nineteenth-century technical plates and the dense tabular layout of a trade ledger.
