Alfred C. Haddon began his study of these native fabrics and
garments with the collection in the Sarawak museum, Kuching, of
which many of the patterns had been identified. His own collection,
supplemented by one purchased for him from Dr Charles Hose, is now
in the Cambridge Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology. These
sources, together with an examination of the cloths in the British
Museum, formed the basis of this memoir, which was originally
published by Cambridge University Press in 1936. This was the first
time that the beautiful and intimate patterns of Iban textiles had
been investigated and illustrated. Laura E. Start contributed a
full technical description of the manufacture of the fabrics and
provided all the drawings.
