Navajo weavers
Navajo Weavers is an 1884 Washington publication by the army surgeon and ethnographer Washington Matthews, documenting Navajo weaving techniques and textiles. The pictures are black-and-white engravings of blankets and belts, showing striped and zigzag banded patterns, woven edges with fringe, and cross-sections of weave structure that a designer could use for geometric textile motifs and stripe rhythms.
