A rare Salish blanket
A 1926 monograph published in New York by the Museum of the American Indian, Heye Foundation, written by William C. Orchard on a rare Salish blanket and its weaving for a museum and ethnological audience. The four pictures are numbered line drawings of textile structures, including interlaced warp and weft grids, a close-up of looped and tied fringe, and braided cord tassels hanging from a woven edge, showing how the fabric is built up thread by thread for a designer studying woven pattern structure.
