Originally published in 1979, this comprehensive volume serves as a valuable reference for the study of textile history. It delves into the profound impact of technology on the production of fabrics, exploring how different historical periods and geographical locations shaped the possibilities for fabric manufacturing. The author also examines the intricate connections between textile history, politics, economics, sociology, psychology, art, engineering, anthropology, archaeology, chemistry, and physics. By addressing these critical inquiries, the author conducts a comprehensive survey of the evolution of the technical components of fabrics. Furthermore, she discusses the textiles of specific places and times, employing a rich blend of prose, drawings, and over 130 photographs to illustrate how each era of textile production reflects the characteristics of its time. This book is meticulously designed to serve as both a college text and a valuable resource for museum researchers. The extensive sections, including illustrations, diagrams, key terminology, spinning wool, spinning and raw materials, single ply and cord, and fabric construction, further enhance its utility and make it an indispensable tool for anyone interested in delving into the rich tapestry of textile history.
