A 1903 Dutch-language monograph (Bulletin No. 28 of the Colonial Museum in Haarlem) describing hand weaving in the Dutch East Indies. It covers fibres and spinning, dyeing, warping and ikat tying (warp, weft and double ikat), the three types of loom from backstrap to pedal loom, and regional weaving centres such as Roti, Sumba, Timor, Sumatra, Borneo, Palembang, Bali and Java. A final chapter treats card (tablet) weaving of bands and borders. It includes notes, a bibliography, and about twenty plates of textiles and weaving equipment with museum provenance.
