Essential Reference,

This review is from: 19th Century European Textiles: Dyeing, Weaving and Wallpaper : The Kamei Collection (Paperback)
This is another in the marvelous series of high-quality books on the textiles from the Kamei Collection. Published by Bijutsu Shuppan-sha, and only sold through high-end booksellers, the books provide the serious designer with essential reference to historical textile designs and patterns.
Chock full of rich color photographs of textile patterns from the Kamai Collection, this is the first volume published: Dyeing, Weaving, and Wallpaper (1). From the inside flap (of Volume I): The Kamei Collection dates back to the Meiji period (1868-1912) when it was started by Count Koreaki Kamei, heir to the old Tsuwano Clan of Japan. The count, who was studying art history and aesthetics in Germany, originally gathered the pieces to serve as reference materials. This comprehensive collection of 19 century European dyeing, weaving, wallpaper, and design patterns for textiles that have all but disappeared today. Selected pieces from this collection have now been compiled into two volumes : volume I deals with dyeing, weaving, and wallpaper, and volume II with design and patterns. Reproduced in vivid color, these books are sure to become indispensable references for anyone interested in design. NOTE: Since publication of the first two volumes, the third volume: Dyeing and Wallpaper was added.
