How to know oriental rugs, a handbook
A collector's handbook on Oriental rugs by Mary Beach Langton, published in New York by D. Appleton in 1904 for American buyers learning to identify weaving regions. The plates are photographs of whole rugs, some halftone and some color-printed, showing medallions, boteh fields, hooked latch-hook borders, stepped diamonds and knotted fringe—usable as flat pattern fields, border strips and repeating motifs.
