Folio (315 x 465 mm). 96 ff. French manuscript on paper. Illustrated with numerous pasted-in fabric samples, hand-painted diagrams on printed grid paper (pasted in, 1 folding), and diagrams. Contemporary boards. Beautifully preserved: an extensive, hand-drawn weaving pattern book compiled in the textile center of Lyon, for students or for workshops. The work comprises over one hundred hand-painted designs on lithograph grid paper, pasted in, alongside fabric samples illustrating the pattern. - The new, advanced weaving mills of the 19th century would transfer precisely such designs to punch cards, to be fed into the programmable looms first developed in the early 19th century by the French weaver Joseph Marie Jacquard. His invention would prove to have paved the way for the computer when the English mathematician Charles Babbage realized that such a programmable machine could be fed punch cards to execute complex calculations rather than weaving patterns, and it is therefore perhaps not without reason that these weaving designs appear to resemble hand-inked pixel images. - The patterns correspond in their general design to those published in contemporaneous printed collections, all of which today are of the utmost rarity. Even later editions of such books have proved almost unobtainable, as they typically remained in heavy workshop use, often for more than a century, until they literally fell to pieces. Thus, it is all the more surprising to find a manuscript specimen in such good overall condition. - The further illustrations show the details of loom setup, warp and weft arrangements, and more. The quality and preservation of both fabric and grid-paper designs is extremely high, with very few instances of fading or rubbing, and remarkably bright cloth. - Étienne Maisiat (1794-1848) was a professor of manufacturing at the special school of commerce, then at the school of La Martinière from 1836 until 1848. He made significant progress in the art of weaving silk fabrics. - Binding a touch rubbed; one page chipped due to removal of fabric sample.
