Wonderfully varied binder of weaving, printing, and craft work compiled in the mid-20th century.

The album contains 13 leaves with mounted samples, plus 6 leaves at the rear of larger woven specimens, most set inside manila windows. About 10 leaves of printed information and 40 of manuscript notes, including a few pages with weaving drafts on graph paper.
