154 pages, 20 color and 200 b/w photographs, 4 maps. The more than 400 Latin American costumes and textiles that comprise the Haffenreffer Museum's fine collection are the basis for this excellent in- depth view of the contrasting textile traditions of Middle America and the Central Andes. The evolution of these traditions is discussed in essays in the text; each of the almost 200 illustrated textiles is provided with extensive and minute data including: the town or village where the textile was purchased, collection date, dimensions, type of yarn ply, spin, color, and warp and weft count; method of fabrication, notes on iconography, comments from field notes and textile analyses.
