About This Item
Rare essay on the history, geographical specifics, and types of carpets produced in the region, which details everything from the process of production (design, weaving, coloring) to their cost and distribution (including export statistics). The included photographs, with one exception, were taken by the editor himself, the well-regarded naturalist Nikolai N.

They depict carpet weavers at work as well as a variety of designs. KVK, OCLC show copies at Harvard, NYPL, Bibliotheque de l"Inst de France, Chicago, and Texas.
