Hardcover. Primary copy: Black boards with cream paper title label. 64 pp. with 36 bw figures; a heavy rag-paper sheet with a chart of textile classifications (revised 1935 and printed by the Overbrook Press in Connecticut, according to a pencil notation in lower right corner) is laid in. Secondary copy: As the first but with brown cloth tape at spine. (PLEASE SEE COMMENTS ABOUT WHY THERE ARE TWO COPIES BEING SOLD TOGETHER!!). Classification of early hand-loom American fabrics, including cloth, twill, satin, velvet, and brocade. The two copies are nearly identical, but the lesser-quality copy has very interesting marginalia as well as editorial changes to the text. It is obvious that a revised edition was planned, definitely post-1935, but never carried out. The table of textile classifications was bound into the second copy but removed and laid into the primary copy (better condition). No mention of this chart is made in copy listed elsewhere, and it likely was to be included in the revised edition. "The [Philadelphia] Museum [of Art] began as a legacy of the great Centennial Exhibition of 1876, held in Fairmount Park. At the conclusion of the celebrations, Memorial Hall--which had been constructed as the Exhibition's art gallery-- remained open as the Pennsylvania Museum and School of Industrial Art "for the improvement and enjoyment of the people of the Commonwealth.Director Fiske Kimball set the tone for a new era in the 1920s, and the opening of the new building on Fairmount--what is now the Main Building." (from the museum's web site). VG, clean contents; 3-inch split at bottome of front hinge, but binding still secure. Philadelphia Museum of Art ex-lib. with donation bookplate of Fiske Kimball (former director) and his wife. Second copy: Fair; also ex-lib. but with several notations and with a few detached but present pages.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - 'The Weaves of Hand-Loom Fabrics' is a seminal technical treatise and classification system designed for the rigorous study and identification of hand-woven textiles. Authored by Nancy Andrews Reath, this foundational work provides a comprehensive framework for categorizing the intricate structures of historic cloth. Rather than focusing solely on aesthetic qualities, the text delves into the fundamental mechanics of textile production, offering a logical methodology for analyzing how different fabrics are constructed on a loom.The book meticulously details a variety of weave categories, ranging from basic plain weaves and twills to more sophisticated arrangements such as satins, velvets, and damasks. By establishing standardized terminology and a clear system of classification, Reath provides an essential reference for curators, textile historians, and weavers alike. The work clarifies the complex relationships between warp and weft, illustrating how specific interlacing patterns determine the texture, strength, and visual character of the finished fabric.Valued for its precision and clarity, 'The Weaves of Hand-Loom Fabrics' remains an important resource for anyone dedicated to the preservation and technical understanding of textile arts.
