Raphia and reed weaving : including also cardboard and paper construction : a practical course for primary and elementary schools

Knapp, Elizabeth Sanborn · 1910 · Springfield, Mass. : M. Bradley · 14 pictures

A 1910 manual by Elizabeth Sanborn Knapp, published in Springfield, Massachusetts, for teachers of primary and elementary school crafts in raphia, reed and cardboard work. Its pictures are simple line diagrams: flat cut-out nets for folding paper and card boxes with measured dimensions, a hexagonal table with arched legs, and a close view of a woven basket edge numbered in order. A designer could draw on the clean, schematic line work and the numbered step-by-step weaving sequence.
