Originally published in 1979, this volume acts as a reference for
the history textiles. It asks questions on the effect of
technology on textiles, how did particular historical periods and
locations expand or limit the possibilities for the manufacture of
fabrics and how the textile history related to politics and
economics, sociology and psychology, art and engineering,
anthropology and archaeology, chemistry and physics. Addressing
these questions, the author surveys the development of the
technical components of fabrics and discusses the textiles of
selected places and times. She uses prose, drawings and more than
130 photographs to show how each era of textile production reflects
its age. This book is designed to serve as a college text and as a
reference work for museum researchers. With sections
including illustrations and diagrams; key terminology; spinning
wool; spinning and raw materials; single ply and cord and fabric
construction.
