A single-page National Geographic illustration with a photograph by Nevin O. Winter of a young Ukrainian woman in traditional dress and a multi-strand bead necklace, seated at a wooden spinning wheel beside a stove. The caption notes the women's fondness for bright colors and says that industrial cloth production had led to the decline of home spinning wheels and looms in the Ukraine region.
