Very beautiful triptych textile sample book featuring a selection of cords and technical braids, carefully affixed with red wax to lined pages with handwritten annotations from the period in German. Each reference is numbered, described, and likely linked to a specific use or order, giving the whole a strong professional dimension. The rigorous layout, calligraphy, and variety of weaves make it both an aesthetic and documentary piece, typical of commercial or technical materials used in textile workshops or houses at the end of the 19th century.
