A series of tables and diagrams illustrating economy in cutting, being economical methods for cutting out garments
A trade manual of 1894 published in London by J. Williamson and written by John Falconer, offering tabulated diagrams for cutting garments with minimal waste of cloth. Its plates are line-drawn layouts of tailors' pattern pieces packed together on a sheet, with sleeves, collars, and bodice panels fitted in tight interlocking arrangements in a sepia-toned print, showing the nesting logic a designer could borrow for dense, edge-to-edge composition.
