Description
 
William Randolph Hearst's collection of Navajo textiles is one of the most complex gatherings in the world. Comprising dozens of Classic Period serapes, chief blankets, Germantown eyedazzlers, and turn-of-the-century rugs, the 185 piece collection was donated to the Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History in 1942 but for the next forty years was known only to a handful of scholars.

This catalogue raisonne, featuring nearly 200 illustrations, provides the general public with the first look at this important collection. Nancy Blomberg's narrative introduces the reader to the history of Navajo weaving and documents Hearst's role in its development. The heart of the book provides a detailed analysis of each textile: fibers, yarn types, dyes, and designs.

CONDITION: Hard Cover, 257 pages, Used with light wear to DJ, book in VG+ to near fine condition, clean. 1988. University of Arizona Press
