This Jazz Age weaving manuscript notebook, complete with weave formation design plates, fabric samples, and instructions, offer a remarkable and invaluable artifact of how a young American textile designer and weaver received training at the famed Philadelphia Textile School (now Philadelphia University) during the 1920s. These course books were judged on completeness and the aspiring weaver's skill in presenting the details about the instruction, as well as their abilities in running the machinery required to produce the cloth. This manuscript notebook includes Schumann's detailed plates and notes on producing color effect on the plain weave, creating Broken Twills, Crowfoot Satins, Checked & Figured Broken Twills, Entwining Twills, Basket Weaves, and Broken Satins. The extensive manuscript notes detail the loom instructions, how many lines are required, composition, and more in producing the assorted effects. Because of the poor quality of United States textiles exhibited at the Centennial Exhibition in 1876, the Philadelphia Textile Manufacturers pushed for a formalized vocational school to train weavers, designers, and textile workers. In 1884 it became part of the Pennsylvania Museum and School of Industrial Art with 81 students enrolled by 1885, and by 1894 the School of Textiles added a Department of Wool Carding & Spinning, and a Department of Cloth Finishing and Design. By the 1920s, the Philadelphia Textile School was offering extensive three-year textile courses, chemistry and dyeing courses, as well as design courses in cottons, woolens, worsteds, silks, Jacquard design, and more. Schumann (1906-1967) was the son of Hugo Schumann, founder and owner of the Maid Hosiery Mills in Reading, PA through the opening decades of the 20th century, for whom he worked with until after World War II as designer and sales executive.
