De la fabrique d'étoffes
De la fabrique d'étoffes is a Lyon textile sample book of 1842, a French trade record of woven fabric designs and their production notes, made for weavers and designers in the silk city. The pictures show a red lattice-and-diamond pattern pasted onto a ruled page, a dense pencil-and-ink weaving draft with musical-style staves, and a blue and gold floral damask cloth sample with handwritten French notes, offering a designer clear models of repeat grids and historic floral woven patterns.
