Reviews
In his 40-year quest to amass the best and the brightest examples of Navajo textiles woven between 1800 and 1920, Hearst obtained more than 200 weavings, which he ultimately donated to the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County. Assistant curator Blomberg documents these weavings in a volume that can be appreciated by both casual reader and specialist. The former will browse through full-page color illustrations of each weaving and fascinating accounts of the marketing of Navajo textiles from weaver to reservation trader to merchant to consumer. The latter will find a detailed analysis of each piece, including physical description, dating, and a transcription of written documentation from vendor tags and ledger books. Recommended. Janice Zlendich, California State Univ. Lib., Fullerton
