1839Best.-Nr. 461741839. Jacquard Joseph Marie 1752-1834. Portrait in silk of Joseph-Marie Jacquard after an original oil portrait by Claude Bonnefond manufactured by Didier Petit et Cie; woven by Michel-Marie Carquillat 1803-1884 in Lyon France 1839. The image including caption and Carquillat's name taking credit for the weaving is 55 x 34 cm.; the full piece of silk including blank margins is 85 x 66 cm. The visible portion of the image in the frame is 72 x 54.5 cm. and the frame measures 104 x 84 cm. Minor wear from folding barely visible in the image but with the image in clear unfaded and fresh condition. The weaving was professionally treated by a textile conservator whose conservator's report and images of before and after are available. Minor flaws visible in the large outer margins of the silk not affecting the image. In a large and attractive archival frame. This famous image of which only a very few examples are known was woven by machine using 24000 Jacquard cards each of which had over 1000 hole positions. The process of mis en carte or converting the image details to punched cards for the Jacquard mechanism for this exceptionally large and detailed image would have taken several workers many months as the woven image convincingly portrays superfine elements such as a translucent curtain over glass window panes. Once all the "programming" was completed the process of weaving the image with its 24000 punched cards would have taken more than eight hours assuming that the weaver was working at the usual Jacquard loom speed of about forty-eight picks per minute or about 2800 per hour. More than once this woven image was mistaken for an engraved image. The image was produced only to order most likely in a small number of examples. Recorded examples are those at the Metropolitan Museum of Art the Science Museum London The Art Institute of Chicago and the Computer History Museum Mountain View California Musée de Tissus Lyons. The image is the subject of the book by James Essinger entitled Jacquard's Web: How a Hand Loom Led to the Birth of the Information Age 2004. To Charles Babbage the incredible sophistication of the information processing involved in the mis en carte—what we call programming—of this exceptionally elaborate and beautiful image confirmed the potential of using punched cards for the inputting programming and outputting and storage of information in his design and conception of the first general-purpose programmable computer--the Analytical Engine. The highly aesthetic result also confirmed to Babbage that machines were capable of amazingly complex and subtle processes—processes which might eventually emulate the subtlety of the human mind. "In June 1836 Babbage opted for punched cards to control the machine the Analytical Engine. The principle was openly borrowed from the Jacquard loom which used a string of punched cards to automatically control the pattern of a weave. In the loom rods were linked to wire hooks each of which could lift one of the longitudinal threads strung between the frame. The rods were gathered in a rectangular bundle and the cards were pressed one at a time against the rod ends. If a hole coincided with a rod the rod passed through the card and no action was taken. If no hole was present then the card pressed back the rod to activate a hook which lifted the associated thread allowing the shuttle which carried the cross-thread to pass underneath. The cards were strung together with wire ribbon or tape hinges and fan-folded into large stacks to form long sequences. The looms were often massive and the loom operator sat inside the frame sequencing through the cards one at a time by means of a foot pedal or hand lever. The arrangement of holes on the cards determined the pattern of the weave. "As well as patterned textiles for ordinary use the technique was used to produce elaborate and complex images as exhibition pieces. One well-known piece was a shaded portrait of Jacquard seated at table with a small model of his loom. The portrait was woven in fine silk by a firm in Lyon using a Jacquard punched-card loom. The image took 24000 cards to produce and each card had over 1000 hole positions. Babbage was much taken with the portrait which is so fine that it is difficult to tell with the naked eye that it is woven rather than engraved. He hung his own copy of the prized portrait in his drawing room and used it to explain his use of the punched cards in his Engine. The delicate shading crafted shadows and fine resolution of the Jacquard portrait challenged existing notions that machines were incapable of subtlety. Gradations of shading were surely a matter of artistic taste rather than the province of machinery and the portrait blurred the clear lines between industrial production and the arts. Just as the completed section of the Difference Engine played its role in reconciling science and religion through Babbage's theory of miracles the portrait played its part in inviting acceptance for the products of industry in a culture in which aesthetics was regarded as the rightful domain of manual craft and art" Swade The Cogwheel Brain.

In 4°; (166) pp. e (6) p. bianche .Vari disegni nel testo ed alcuni inserti di tessuti di seta. Legatura coeva in mezza tela con titolo impresso in oro al dorso. Magnifica grafia di metà ottocento di questa raccolta inedita di appunti, raccolti dallo studente Carlo Biraghi, di uno scritto del professore Luigi Bossi dedicato alla teoria e fabbricazione delle Stoffe di seta, secondo, probabilmente, le lezioni tenute dallo stesso Bossi. Il noto professore di tessitura serica ed ingegnere Luigi Bossi, autore di uno dei più celebri manuali sulla tessitura della seconda metà dell'ottocento (edito nel 1874) fu anche colui che costruì ed attivò la macchina a vapore con una potenza di 2 cavalli che riscaldò e mosse i 60 aspi, a partire dal 1846, della Filanda del Rag. Andrea Bossi. Luigi Bossi mise le proprie conoscenze al servizio della tessitura e dell'industria tessile del nord Italia, divenendo figura di riferimento per le nuove generazioni di imprenditori tessili. Partendo dalla teoria della seta, l'autore prosegue descrivendo il molinaggio, la trama, l'organzimo, varie qualità di sete lavorate come la granatina, l'ovale, il plate, la fantasia o Chappe, il fioretto, la crepe, il marabout, per proseguire poi con il titolo della seta, il perimetro o assaggiatore della seta, la stagionatura della seta, la cappiatura e assortitura della seta, la tintura della seta, i prodotti ottenuti dalla seta tinta in diversi colori per ogni Kg. Di seta cruda, la purga della seta, la tinta in cotto e a colori, la tinta in nero fino e minerale, la tinta in raddolcito o souple, la tinta in nero biscotto, tinta delle trame ingallate, la tinta a crudo, la tinta delle seti cotte e caricate, l'aspetto che presentano le sete tinte nei diversi processi, la cura per la conversazione della seta in magazzino, l'incannaggio delle seti, le precauzioni da usarsi nell'incannaggio, l'orditura, le precauzioni da usarsi nell'orditura, i rocchetti, l'imbancaggio, ordimenti-ombreggianti, l'imbancaggio per ombreggiati di 6 gradazioni primitive, l'avvertenza sull'incarnaggio delle sete per ompreggiati, gli schemi della regola per ottenere 21 gradazioni derivate da 6 gradazioni prmitive oppure 22 gradazioni d 8 gradazioni primitive. Segue un saggio o guidana con esempi, le regole per gli ordinamenti rigati, il piegaggio, il modo di fare il calcolo per disporre l'organzino alla tinta, il modo di calcolare la quantità di trama greggia da disporre alla tinta o già tinta, altri risultati che si possono ottnere coll'uso del divisore cost.se, il modo di calcolare la quantità di filato, la regola per il tessimento, vari esercizi o conti di fabbrica. Alla fine dell'opera seguono 60 pagine dedicate alla macchina Jacquard con un bel disegno spaccato dello stesso ed un attenta analisi delle sue parti e del suo utilizzo. Nel 1801 il francese Joseph-Marie Jacquard presentò questo tipo di telaio, dotato di un macchinario che permette, con l'ausilio di una scheda perforata, la movimentazione automatica dei singoli fili di ordito e che rivoluzionò il campo dell'industria tessile.

1900Best.-Nr. 238851900. Women textile workers photo archive depicting Jacquard weaving and related mechanized textile production c. 1900 documenting an industrial technology directly connected to the development of programmable computation. Two photographs show women at Jacquard looms where large harness assemblies permit the selective control of warp threads required for figured weaving. The Jacquard system used sequences of punched cards to determine which warp cords were raised during successive passes storing instructions outside the loom mechanism. Charles Babbage adopted the punched card principle for his Analytical Engine in 1836 and Ada Lovelace in her 1843 Notes on the Analytical Engine compared its manipulation of mathematical operations to the Jacquard loom's weaving of figured patterns. Photo archive 4 silver gelatin photographs mounted on cardstock c.1900-1930. Two photographs show women seated at Jacquard looms enclosed by tall wooden frames supporting dense arrays of harness cords descending toward the warp; the punched card chains themselves are not visible in these views. A third shows a woman standing beside a monumental warp creel filled with scores of individually wound yarn packages each feeding thread through a corresponding guide. The fourth shows two women attending a broad industrial textile machine identified with Bruno Knobloch who patented a thread feeding device for flat warp knitting machines and a Jacquard device for warp knitting machinery. The four photographs document distinct pieces of equipment with women operating supplying and monitoring each machine. Textile manufacturing employed more women than any other industrial sector in Europe and the United States during this period and the Jacquard loom in particular was operated predominantly by women in both domestic workshops and factory settings. Jacquard demonstrated his punched card controlled loom in 1801. The women pictured here worked inside the industrial system Lovelace pointed to: textile production organized around the controlled selection of threads repeatable sequences of mechanical operations and machinery capable of translating predetermined instructions into complex physical patterns. Light fading and tonal variation with scattered surface and mount wear; overall in good condition. unknown
