Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

A lavishly illustrated (and astonishingly beautiful) chronological survey that presents leading textile designers' work, preserved at the Austrian Museum for Applied Arts in Vienna--which houses some 20,000 fabric samples and 1,800 patterns designed between 1910 and 1932 and used widely all over Europe. More than 300 examples of fabric design are discussed and illustrated here, complemented by contemporary documents such as pattern books, photographs of displays and of garments and upholstery made with these fabrics. The reference section includes a complete catalog of patterns about which visual documentation exists today in the form of swatches, drawings, or photographs. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.

Includes bibliographical references (p. 254-256).
