Large quarto. XXVI, [2], 444pp. Original pictorial dust-jacket over blue cloth, with gold lettering on spine and front cover. Wheat's years of research resulted in a masterful classification scheme for southwestern textiles - and a book that establishes an essential baseline for understanding craft production. Nearly completed before Wheat's death, "Blanket Weaving in the Southwest" describes the evolution of southwestern textiles from the early historic period to the late nineteenth century, establishes a revised chronology for its development, and traces significant changes in materials, techniques, and designs. A final chapter, constructed by editor Ann Hedlund from Wheat's notes, provides clues to his evolving ideas about the development of textile design. Hedlund - herself a respected textile scholar and a protégée of Wheat's - is uniquely qualified to interpret the many notes he left behind and brings her own understanding of weaving to every facet of the text. She has ensured that Wheat's research is applicable to the needs of scholars, collectors, and general readers alike. Throughout the text, Wheat discusses and evaluates the distinct traits of the three textile traditions. More than 200 photos demonstrate these features, including 191 color plates depicting a vast array of chief blankets, shoulder blankets, ponchos, sarapes, diyugi, mantas, and dresses from museum collections nationwide. In addition, dozens of line drawings demonstrate the fine points of technique concerning weaves, edge finishes, and corner tassels. Dust-jacket, binding and interior in overall very good condition.
