Early printing of this scarce and important guide intended to provide reference for 19th-century weaving students, and textile manufacturers. Posselt (1858-1921), emigrated from Austria after managing his father's textile mills, and was a designer in mills all over New England and Pennsylvania. He became the first director in 1884 of the first successful textile school in the U.S., and later became editor of the Textile Record of North America, the foremost journal on textile design and manufacturing at the end of the 19th-Century. Although his many works on textile machinery and manufacturing are now primarily of historical interest, this well-illustrated work on weaving and loom design is still relevant, and considered some of the most important books on textile design ever published.
