Weberei - - Tobias Biehler. Practische Anleitung für jeder Zeichnung zur Jaquard-Maschine. (Wien, 1839) Österreichisches Autorenmanuskript des 19. Jahrhunderts in deutscher Sprache auf Papier, mit lithographiertem Präsentationstitel zu Otto, König von Griechenland, Manuskript-Widmungsblatt und von Biehler signiertem autographen Manuskript auf seinem Vorwort und auf den "Allgemeinen Anmerkungen" (= Allgemeine Anmerkungen) lose eingefügten Text von zwei Seiten. Kollation: 3 Bll. mit 48 goldumrandeten Seidenmustern hinterlegt, 90 Textblätter und aufwändige Diagramme, teilweise ganzseitig, 46 auf dünnem Karton gezeichnete Webmuster, viele auf großen Faltblättern und Bildunterschriften gegenüberliegend, zu Beginn in der Bindung abgerissene Seitenreste obwohl das Ganze scheinbar vollständig ist. Zeitgenössischer grüner Samteinband mit Goldprägung, in einer maßgefertigten Faltschachtel aufbewahrt. Quer.-Folio. Provenienz: Jonathan Hill, 1987 to Tomash, Tomash & Williams Add5, Sothebys, 19. Sept. 2018. No. 842. - Prachtvolles österreichisches Manuskript über das Weben mit Jacquardwebstühlen. Die Handschrift enthält Anleitungen, Abbildungen von Webstühlen, Stoffmustern, Fadenproben und 12 Seiten mit Lochkarten, Webmuster und Muster des Seidengewebes. Autor war der Wiener Seidenfabrikant Tobias Biehler (1810-1890), der das Manuskript drei Jahre vor der Patentierung seiner Webmaschine verfasste. Seine Maschine wurde erstmals 1843 privilegiert und patentiert (siehe: Sammlung der Gesetze für das Erzherzogthum Oesterreich unter der Ens, Band 25, Nr. 4103). Diese Erfindung machte Biehlers späteres Vermögen aus. Auf der dritten österreichischen Handelsausstellung 1845 (Wien) stellte Tobias Biehler seinen neu erfundenen Jacquard-Webstuhl sowie zwei Porträts auf Seide aus, die mit dieser Maschine hergestellt wurden. Mit seinem Unternehmen wurde er ein wohlhabender Bürger, später Gemeinderat und Kunstsammler mit einer reichen Sammlung von Miniaturen, Edelsteinen und Kameen. Der Jacquardwebstuhl wurde im 19. bis 20. Jahrhundert weltweit in der Textilindustrie eingesetzt, und sein Lochkartensystem beeinflusste die Entwicklung der Lochkartentechnologie für Computer. - Präsentationshandschrift an Otto, König von Griechenland, den zweiten Sohn König Ludwigs I. von Bayern, über Biehlers Jacquardwebstuhl, der 1804 von Joseph Marie Jacquard erfunden wurde und auf früheren Erfindungen der Franzosen Bouchon (1725), Falcon (1728) und Jacques Vaucanson (1740) basiert. Die Maschine wurde durch eine "Kartenkette" gesteuert, eine Anzahl von Lochkarten, die zu einer fortlaufenden Sequenz zusammengeschnürt wurden. Dieser Mechanismus ist wahrscheinlich eine der wichtigsten Erfindungen in der Weberei, da das Jacquard-Fachwerk die automatische Herstellung unbegrenzter Musterwebvarianten ermöglichte. Dieses große Werk ist eine Beschreibung, wie ein Jacquardwebstuhl eingerichtet werden kann. Es beginnt mit einer Beschreibung des Webprozesses und des Notationssystems, das zur Beschreibung eines Musters verwendet wird. Danach folgt eine ausführliche Beschreibung des Jacquard-Webstuhls mit sehr detaillierten ganzseitigen Diagrammen der Mechanismen. Der letzte und größte Teil der Arbeit ist ein Mustertuch mit verschiedenen Webarten, einschließlich ihrer ursprünglichen Entwurfsunterlagen und Muster zusammen mit Mustern aus dem eigentlichen Stoff/Seide. Es gibt mehrere sehr detaillierte, ganzseitige Diagramme der Maschine und ihrer verschiedenen Mechanismen. Von großem Interesse sind die Erläuterungen der von der Maschine verwendeten "Computernotation", einschließlich zwölf Seiten mit den Lochkarten, die Webmuster und Muster des resultierenden Seidengewebes darstellen. Diese Verwendung von austauschbaren Lochkarten zur Steuerung einer Sequenz von Operationen wird als ein wichtiger Schritt in der Geschichte der Computerprogrammierung angesehen. Insgesamt gibt es über hundert goldumrandete Seidenmuster in verschiedenen Größen - Lit..: A. Bernhard - Walcher. Geschnittene Steine des 18. und 19.

Weaving. - A superb Austrian manuscript on weaving with Jacquard looms, containing instructions, illustrations of looms, cloth swatches, thread samples, and including 12 pages showing the punched cards representing weaving patterns and swatches of the resulting silk cloth, written by the Viennese silk manufacturer Tobias Biehler (1810-1890), three years before his weaving machine was patented. His machine was first privileged & patented in 1843 (see: Sammlung der Gesetze für das Erzherzogthum Oesterreich unter der Ens, vol. 25, no. 4103) and made Biehler's later fortune. At the third Austrian trade exhibition in 1845 (Vienna), Tobias Biehler exhibited his newly invented Jacquard-Weaving loom along with two portraits on silk, produced by this machine. He became a rich man with his enterprise, later a municipal councilor and an art collector with a rich collection of miniatures, gems and cameos. The Jacquard loom was employed by the textile industry worldwide during the 19th-20th centuries, and its system of punch cards influenced development of punch card technology for computers. - Presentation manuscript to Otto, King of Greece, the second son of King Ludwig I. of Bavaria, about Biehler's Jacquard loom, invented by Joseph Marie Jacquard in 1804, based on earlier inventions by the Frenchmen Bouchon (1725), Falcon (1728), and Jacques Vaucanson (1740). The machine was controlled by a "chain of cards", a number of punched cards laced together into a continuous sequence. Multiple rows of holes were punched on each card, with one complete card corresponding to one row of the design.This mechanism is probably one of the most important weaving inventions as Jacquard shedding made possible the automatic production of unlimited varieties of pattern weaving. This large work is a description of how to set up a Jacquard loom. It begins with a description of the weaving process and the notation system used to describe a pattern. This is followed by an in-depth description of the Jacquard loom with very detailed full-page diagrams of the mechanisms. The final, and largest, part of the work is a sampler of different weavings, including their initial design documents and patterns together with swatches from the actual cloth/silk. There are several very detailed full-page diagrams of the machine and its various mechanisms. Of great interested are the explanations of the "computational notation" used by the machine, including twelve pages showing the punched cards representing weaving patterns and swatches of the resulting silk cloth. This use of replaceable punched cards to control a sequence of operations is considered an important step in the history of computer programming. There are over a hundred gilt-edged silk swatches of various sizes in all. - Lit.: A. Bernhard - Walcher. Geschnittene Steine des 18. und 19.
