ATLAS ZUM HANDBUCH DER WEBEREI.

Item Details

Berlin, Burmester & Stempel, 1886

First Edition, Nice

This is the plate volume for the Handbuch der Weberei published between 1885 and 1887.  The three-volume Handbuch itself is rare, with OCLC only citing one location, that at Columbia University.  We could find no copy of the plate volume listed anywhere including COPAC, OCLC, and the British Library.  The plates show textile machinery as well as patterns for various looms.  Several of the plates are browned along the edges and a few have tears along the folds, but, in general, this is a more than respectable copy, with the original wrapper for the first section bound-in.

Folio. Later cloth. 121 plates, of which 20 colored and many folding. First edition.
