Decorative and fancy textile fabrics
A 1898 textile design manual published in London by Scott and Greenwood, written by R. I. Lord for students and practitioners of fabric decoration. Its illustrations show black-and-white pattern studies for woven and printed cloth, including a dense white-on-black floral repeat, a grid-based geometric motif, a flower-and-berry sprig, and a checkerboard-like band. A designer could take from them ready models for repeat layouts, reversed light-on-dark contrast, and pixel-grid geometric construction.
