How to make Indian and other baskets
A how-to manual on basketry by George Wharton James, published in New York by H. Malkan in 1903 for craft workers and hobbyists copying Native American techniques. The halftone plates photograph finished coiled and woven baskets, mats, and pouches against plain cloth grounds, lit to raise strong side shadows — useful as spiral and plaited texture sources, or as isolated object silhouettes.
