With their fanciful, highly imaginative motifs and luminous tints, they are more immediately appealing than the sombre blue and brown batik of Central Java. It was a chance encounter in a Hong Kong antique shop that inspired photojournalist Inger McCabe Elliot to devote over three decades to assembling one of the world's finest collections, which she presented to the Los Angeles Country Museum of Art in 1991. This volume, published in conjunction with an exhibition at the Museum, celebrates Elliott's gift and presents her collection. Essays by authorities on the subject examine the 82 featured batik textiles from historical, cultural and aesthetic perspectives. The essays are followed by biographies of some of the most distinguished batik designers and entrepreneurs and a descriptive catalogue of the batiks. Appendices document design formats and motifs, as well as the complete production process of North Coast batiks." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: The world of the Pasisir, by Peter Carey; The historical background of batik on Java, by Rens Heringa; From home craft to batik industry, by Harmen C.

First thus. Signed by Sylvia Meagher on the front free endpaper, inscribed to former owner and dated June 1981. xxxiii, [i], 477, [1] pp. Bound in wraps. Very Good+, wraps and contents toned with age, slight bump to front wrap along bottom edge. Nice shape overall. A rare signed copy of first-generation JFK assassination researcher Sylvia Meagher's methodical refutation of the Warren Commission's conclusions, covering everything from the origin of the shots, the vanishing Mauser and package Oswald reputedly brought to work, Tippit's murder, mysterious deaths of wtinesses, the bizarre Presidential autopsy, etc. Arguably the best of the first generation JFK assassination conspiracy books, dense and measured in tone, which even managed to get praise from the opposing side of the JFK debate, the "Lone Nutters." It anticipates much of the better research into the assassination decades later, including that of Peter Dale Scott, who wrote the introduction that appears to be new with this edition, issued to coincide with the HSCA.
