Description: Saris of India, Madhya Pradesh, Rta Kapur Chishti & Amba Sanyal, Wiley Eastern Ltd. & Amr Vastra Kosh, 1989. First edition HC with dj, 12"x11", profusely illustrated in color & b&w. Light edgewear to dj, otherwise near fine. From the front flap of a dust jacket: " An exhaustive overview on the saris of India emerges from a district by district, village by village search that takes a team of two through a whole spectrum of traditional weaver and printer settlements in Central India. The sari has been, in one form or another, the central feature of the weaving/printing tradition for a thousand years or more and promises to retain a position of some importance. It was chosen to be the basis of this work, for it provides the most reliable and firm ground to move both backward and forward in time. However, wherever possible, other unstitched comments have also been taken into consideration... A contemporary and vivid account of the experience of searching and the findings that leads to, for the lay reader and the specialist, be they textilists, designers, scholars or developers."
