Foreward----"When the Mary and Leigh Block Gallery and the Chicago Rug Society first discussed the possibility of an exhibition of rugs and weavings, there were numerous suggestions as to what might be shown. It quickly became clear that an exhibition of Kurdish materials would be ideal; there were within the membership of the Rug Society. In addition, some Society members had firsthand experience in Kurdish areas or knew of collectors and scholars who had acquired rugs and observed Kurdish weavers in several countries of the Middle East. More important, Kurdish weaving was the only great class of Middle Eastern textiles that had not previously been given an exclusive academic exhibition.". First Edition. Trade Paperback.
