Description:
Taipei: Caves Books, 1989. For the first time in a publication outside of China, the raw material employed in textile creation, and the processing techniques applied to it, are documented in their context of historical evolution, geographical distribution and economic significance. Such raw materials varied from hemp, ramie, jute, cotton, etc., as well as the renowned Chinese harvesting of silk from the cocoons of domesticated silkworms. The time-span addressed runs from the Neolithic to the end of the 19th century. Archaeological and pictorial evidence, the bulk of it previously unpublished in the West, is combined with Chinese textual sources - translated and interpreted - to illustrate Chinese achievements in this field. Cambridge UP appointed Caves Books as the authorized publisher of this series in Taiwan. Light browning of endpapers; interior clean and unread. xxxiv, 520 pp., 258 b&w illust., 3 maps.. First Edition. Hardbound. Near fine/Near fine. 25 x 18 cm..
