A short biographical essay by Ralph Griswold on the English weaver, designer and author Luther Hooper (1849-1932). It reprints Hooper's brief autobiography, covering his early work as an illuminator, wallpaper designer and silk-weaving designer, and his later teaching and writing, along with Dorothy Wilkinson's 1960 appreciation of him as a teacher. It also lists his seven books with publication details, his 1912 Royal Society of Arts lectures, his illustrations and monogram, his Hooper looms, and where his works can be found. An appendix reproduces sample illustrations from his books, including a table loom draft, a loom prepared for entering, and a tablet-weaving plate.
