Synopsis
Textile production has long been a subject of interest to the practical craft enthusiast and to the anthropologist, in whose field it is considered one of the most complex areas to describe. The author of "Studies In Primitive Looms", H Ling Roth was not only an anthropologist of note but also a practical man. His working life was spent in the West Yorkshire woollen trade, but his overriding hobby throughout that time and indeed after his retirement was the study of textile appliances from all cultures and all periods. The book was original written between 1916 and 1918.

Studies in Primitive Looms
Seller: Black Shed Books, Woodbridge, SUFFO, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. The author of "Studies in Primitive Looms", H. Ling Roth was not only an anthropologist of note but also a practical man. His working life was spent in the West Yorkshire woollen trade, but his overriding hobby throughout that time and indeed after his retirement was the study of textile appliances from all cultures & all periods. That he succeeded in producing a book of considerable importance is illustrated by the fact that it has not been superseded by any other work since it first appeared in 1918. This copy is in very good condition with some sun bleaching of the cover as shown in the image. Seller Inventory # 250064
