Synopsis

This book presents the results of research on six regional holdings of textile pattern books, with the aim of making these resources more widely known and accessible. The brief summaries of 48 archive groups include company histories and numerous colour illustrations. This book is designed to appeal to anyone interested in textiles, pattern design, or local history, but it will also serve as a reference tool for historians. Three short essays provide background information that set the archive entries into the context of textile production, design, and trade. A short glossary and index are also provided.
