Small 4to. 8.25 x 9.2 in. 75 leaves (unnumbered), including 32 leaves with detailed colour charts on weave formations, producing various kinds of cloth, 3 tipped-in textile samples, together w/ weaving instructions in manuscript. Original limp leather 3-ring binder, gilt lettering stamped on front cover, ink lettering & association of Otto F. Schumann on front cover (some soiling, dustsoiling, edgewear), still VG exemplar. 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.

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.…
