[WEAVING] [TEXTILES] Textile Notebook Volumn [Volume] Number One by ["Mr. Heintz" - ?] (Richard Leisner?) - 1960

[no place given]: [not published], 1960. Binder. Very good. Quarto. Clasped folder/bunder with 28pp. of typed pages, plus eighteen cardstock leaves of textile samples. Overall in very good condition with very minor wear. A typescript which contains instructions and best practices for identifying textiles and fabrics using various methods, including observation, solvents, burning, and microscopy. It appears to be a collegiate-level project, with some experiments described. Most interesting is the group of samples, which mostly measure about 6" x 6" or thereabouts, and have hand-drawn diagrams of the patterns below. Possibly produced in the context of forensics? A nice effort at visualizing textile patterns at the granular level. We could not find any information about the author(s), nor did we locate any likely copies in OCLC at the time of listing.
