A one-page article from Baldwin's Textile Designer on the origins of weaving. It discusses linen fabrics, fringe and ribbon recovered from Swiss lake dwelling sites such as Robenhausen and Irgenhausen, drawing on Dr. Keller's reports, and the simple looms that could have produced them. It then compares Egyptian and Indian hand weaving, including the cost breakdown of a Cashmere shawl, with the labor-saving machinery of nineteenth-century manufacture.
