Handbuch des Zeugdrucks und der damit verbundenen Färberei
A German-language technical handbook on textile printing and the dyeing trades, written by Jean Persoz and edited and translated by Christian Heinrich Schmidt, published in Weimar in 1848 for dyers and calico printers. Its single plate shows numbered diagrams of wooden apparatus with labelled parts, lettered A through G, drawn in fine black line on a plain page with a plate number in the corner. A designer might take from it the clean, engineering-style labelling of technical drawings, useful for diagram layouts or vintage schematic styling.
