## Description

Point Paper Art is a small slice of history from the textile industry, a perfect gift for sewing lovers, crafters & those with a love of technological history. 'Lozenge' ESS 1553 is a print taken from an original point paper from E&S Smith of Odsal, Bradford drawn up in 1973. After artwork was designed, the next process to create a design in fabric was to repeat the arts image onto a graph paper called "point paper". The point paper was then read by skilled technicians to create the perforated loom cards that the jacquard loom used to form the pattern in the fabric in the loom. The artwork is a high-quality art print on 300gsm textured off-white card of the original point paper & is ready to be framed. Your print will come with the detailed description of the pattern's history. The print has an outer measurement of 32cm wide by 46cm height 12 5/8th x 18 inch with an inner artwork measurement of 30cm by 30.5cm-11 3/4 x 12" inch. This 1970's jazzy 'lozenge' style design was part of a group of speculative designs created by furnishing fabric weaver E&S Smith, Bradford for a presentation to Manchester fabric wholesalers. The design house, Bentley Walbank in nearby Bingley was used to create the design point paper from a sketch of the design & to plot the weaves instructed. It is unknown where the artwork sketch originated. The punched cards for the loom were cut & laced at E&S Smith. For those with an interest in the weaving tech & quality of fabrics, the Northrop 4 colour shuttle loom used in 1973 to weave the fabric selected for this design had a 48-inch reed width with a single Dracup jacquard engine head with 288 pattern hooks & a setting of 60 ends per inch. The fabric width had a 10 over pattern repeat. With 176 cards in the length repeat & a pick ratio of 38 per inch the single pattern repeat of the fabric was 4.75inch wide x 4.6inch high Retro 70S Fabric Art Print Orange Lozenge Textile History
