18565672B<p>FIRST "COMPUTER" PORTRAIT OF AMERICA'S FIRST PRESIDENT</p><p>Lyon Joseph Marie Jacquard 1856.</p><p>Silk machine-woven textile 49.8 x 42.2 cm. Mounted on old board. Edge wear some marginal tears and losses edge toning from mounting tape some damp staining and wrinkling. This said a remarkable survival.</p><p>Rare silk textile portrait of George Washington 1732-99 woven on the earliest programmable loom – the Jacquard Loom – which influenced the development of other programmable punch-card-driven machines that in turn would lead to the early versions of IBM's digital compiler. The present work thus may plausibly be considered the first 'computer' portrait of the first President of the United States. The textile carries the monogram 'JR' and is dated 1856 from Lyon the birthplace and home of Joseph Marie Jacquard 1752-1834 who invented his revolutionary device in 1804 to aid in the production of complex patterns of damask matelassé and brocade.</p><p>Based on Gilbert Stuart's 1755-1828 iconic portrait this two-color textile is inscribed with the famed line 'First in War First in Peace and First in the Hearts of his Countrymen' which is taken from Washington's eulogy delivered by Henry "Light Horse Harry" Lee 1756-1818 a major general in the Continental Army a member of the Continental Congress governor of Virginia father of the famous Civil War general Robert E. Lee and a close friend of Washington.</p><p>Now rare the textile was apparently well known to American audiences for decades after its initial production: A certain R. H. Thurston for example in his 1880 inaugural address as president of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers invoked history's greatest engineers including "Jacquard who perfected the pattern-loom which to-day weaves with equal facility the portrait of him who was 'first in war first in peace and first in the hearts of his countrymen' and the most beautiful and ingenious combinations of form and color of which decorative art is so wonderfully prolific" Thurston p. 9.</p><p>Provenance: Skinner Fine Books and Manuscripts 1 June 2013 lot 19.</p><p> J.

"Despite the fact that this rare volume is not a printed book it is of singular interest in that it was completely woven with silver and black silk thread. It also represents an extremely early book production involving automation and programming. The book was manufactured on silk looms that were programmed using the punched-card system developed by Joseph-Marie Jacquard 1752-1834. Several hundred thousand cards were required to program this curious magnum opus the actual figure is not known but estimates range from 106000 to 500000. After fifty failed attempts it took two years to weave approximately sixty copies. It will be observed that the weave in the present volume is almost microscopic it is exactly four hundred weft threads for every 2.5 centimeters approximately one inch. The movement of the machine was limited to one tenth of a millimeter the result being an extremely precise piece of bookmaking which on account of the material used truly gleams. It is noteworthy that Jacquard's looms only slightly modified are still in use today producing some of the world's finest fabric for furniture. The punched instructional cards utilized by Jacquard's weaving machinery served as the primary inspiration for the famous 'Analytical Engine' conceived by Charles Babbage 1791-1871". - A highlight of Jacquard production from Lyon the capital of silk and hometown of Joseph Marie Jacquard and possibly the only successful attempt at weaving a complete book with legible text. After weaving the silk leaves were folded and mounted on cardboard to give them the necessary strength. Each copy of the book was individually bound when sold but many copies remained in stock for years. - Lillian Randall noted that the "illuminations" of this particular prayer book came from a late 19th-century monograph the "Imitation de Jésus-Christ" Paris: Gruel et Engelmann which included reproductions of various illuminated manuscripts from the 14th to 16th century. The illuminations were chosen by R. P. J. Hervier who was also responsible for the overall design of the volume. A copy of the book was exhibited in the Lyon Pavilion at the Universal Exhibition in 1889 where its maker J. A. Henry won the Grand Prix. - With its small format the iconography and the general aesthetic featuring tendrils fillets miniatures and initials this work was clearly modelled on medieval books of hours. Just as a medieval manuscript was often tailored to the commissioner by inserting his coat of arms into a composition or by mentioning a saint to whom he was particularly devoted to this book of hours has a coat of arms in the frontispiece whose field remains empty to possibly embroider the coat of arms the name and the motto of the recipient. In our copy the field was left blank. hardcover

1839461741839. <p>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.</p> <p> 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.</p> <p> 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.</p> <p> "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.</p> <p> "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.</p> <p> 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.
