A small illustrated bilingual (English and Chinese) booklet, "The Story of Silk," that walks through Chinese silk production in a series of captioned color illustrations. Stages shown include hatching of silkworm eggs, feeding mulberry leaves, spinning on bamboo frames, sorting and boiling cocoons, reeling and washing skeins, raw silk export, home thread making, brocade and gauze weaving on rural looms, and tailoring. An opening note explains the cover design, the Chinese character fu (happiness) associated with Foochow.
