The story of textiles; a bird's-eye view of the history of the beginning and the growth of the industry by which mankind is clothed
Perry Walton's popular history of cloth-making, published in Boston by J. S. Lawrence in 1912 for general readers and people in the textile trade. Line engravings of classical spinners and hand looms sit beside halftone photographs of museum armor, quilted and mailed, and portraits of industry figures at their desks; useful for loom diagrams and period machine silhouettes.
