Page 1 of 1, a sample page, at reduced quality. Open the document to read it in full.
A short one-page piece describing the social position of hand weavers in rural communities in the days of home spinning. It portrays them as pale, solitary itinerant craftsmen carrying bags of linen thread and cloth, viewed with suspicion and superstition by villagers. The text is a literary or social sketch with no technical weaving content. It is credited to the U. S. Economist.
