Peruvian fabrics
Peruvian fabrics by M. D. C. Crawford, published in New York in 1916 by the Trustees, is a scholarly study of textiles from Peru, written for collectors, museum workers and historians of South American weaving. The pictures are black-and-white photographs of ancient fabric fragments: a band of repeating stepped and diamond motifs, a shaped piece with diamond and square geometry against a dark ground, a woven border with stepped figures, and a close view of an open mesh cloth, offering designers a reference for geometric textile pattern and weave structure.
