Germany, ca. 1910. Oblong (12.5 x 20.0 cm). 40 textile samples. In plain limp brown boards.

A rare sample book with Jacquard twill, a twill specially made on a Jacquard machine: a weaving machine which can produce large and complex patterns, using various materials such as cotton, and silk. This process goes back to the French weaver and merchant Joseph-Marie Jacquard. Jacquard fabrics may also include brocade and damask enriched with gold and silver threads. With label R.B.U. Jacquard-Drell (25x), or R.B.U. Satin (15 x), and a product number. R.B.U. seems to be the firm name, but it has not yet been identified. One sample bears a colour-printed label for Indanthren, a trade name for a blue dye used for cotton, and naming its properties, Was[checht], Lichtecht, and Wetterecht (wash-, light-, and weatherproof). Small part of the label rubbed, otherwise very good. In all a rare, attractive item in a very good state.
