Unique copy of this book, being the only major study on the evolution of the frontier dress in Texas. David Holman and family set about traveling to various homes and sites, collecting these artifacts and photographing others prior to publication. Material was hard to come by, much of it being lost through use and severe climate over the years. The work remains a classic piece of research, writing, photography, and printing by Holman, and an exemplary fine press book of Texas and the Southwest. Texas bookman, Ben E. Pingenot, expands a bit on the publication and a similar copy from his collection (Dorothy Sloan Auction #9): "The limited edition, with 13 swatches of actual nineteenth-century pioneer Texas homespun tipped in, sold out upon publication. This copy, which is unnumbered, is labeled "deluxe variant." Unlike the 50 numbered copies, this copy along with a few others is actually bound in nineteenth-century homespun. These variant copies were reserved for the authors, their family, and a few friends." A marvelous example of a book with distinctive, beautiful design and scholarly importance.
