A heavily illustrated classic on the evolution of the handloom. The
handloom-often no more than a bundle of sticks and a few lengths of
cordage-has been known to almost all cultures for thousands of
years. Eric Broudy places the wide variety of handlooms in their
historical context. What influenced their development? How did they
travel from one geographic area to another? Were they invented
independently by different cultures? How have modern cultures
improved on ancient weaving skills and methods? Broudy shows how
virtually every culture has woven on handlooms. He highlights the
incredible technical achievement of early cultures that created
magnificent textiles with the crudest of tools and demonstrates
that modern technology has done nothing to surpass their skill or
inventiveness.
