Dictionary of Weaves by Emanuel Anthony Posselt, published in London by S. Low, Marston and Co. in 1914, is a reference for textile weavers and designers, arranged as grids of draft diagrams for four, eight and sixteen harness looms. The pages show black-and-white weave structures in small squares, with repeat sizes labelled beneath each block, so a designer can scan the geometric patterns for woven textures such as twills, diamonds, and herringbone-like broken lines to adapt for cloth or pattern work.
