Some points in choosing textiles
This 1912 pamphlet by Charlotte M. Gibbs, published by the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, is a plain instructional guide on judging cloth quality for buyers of textiles. Its pictures are unshaded halftone plates of fabric swatches, labelled A to D, showing weave, density and fibre ends in close detail, useful to a designer studying woven structure and sampling layouts.
