Textile defects and suggestions : a collection of essays describing various improvements relating to the manufacture of all kinds of textile fabrics : from the American wool and cotton reporter
Textile defects and suggestions is a 1912 trade collection of essays published in New York by F.P. Bennett & Co., drawn from the American Wool and Cotton Reporter and aimed at textile manufacturers. Its pictures include a mechanical diagram of a machine part with labelled components, a line drawing of a curved fabric or cloth piece with stitched seams, and studio portraits of three men in dark suits and ties. A designer might take from them the plain, technical look of early twentieth-century industrial print, with clean line diagrams and formal head-and-shoulders photographs.
